  • 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
  • 1 cup julienned sweet red pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch strips
  • 6 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

  • 2/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a 12-in. nonstick skillet, saute red pepper in oil for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in the chicken, onions, asparagus, broth, lemon juice, salt, thyme and lemon peel. Cook for 1 minute or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
  2. Stir in peas; saute for 1 minute or until heated through. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened and chicken is no longer pink.
  3. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream. Transfer to a large bowl. Drain the fettuccine and add to chicken mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toss to coat.
