This was awesome! I followed what others had suggested by increasing the garlic and jalapenos...other than that the recipe is perfect as is. Definitely a keeper!!

This was absolutely amazing! I'm so thankful that I tried it! A few changes: 1. I marinated the chicken for about 2 hours in a mix of soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil and tequila, about 1 or 2 tbspoons of each. 2. We love spicy..and reviews said the heat from the japs cooked out. So I used 4 jalapenos and 1 haberno. It was perfect for our taste and we could even go spicier. 3. I added a little more cilantro, as we love that too. 4. Only used half the pasta called for, the amount of sauce was perfect. I prepped everything about 2 hours in advance and just threw together when I was ready to eat. The cilantro/japs/tequila mixture takes about 15/20 mins to turn into a paste, be patient with it. Can't wait to make this again, my husband raved!!!!!

Very nice tasting. I made it for my coworkers and myself for Christmas lunch. It was very tasty and transportable to work but I found it time consuming in prep work. Luckily enough I was snowed in when I made it. Everyone enjoy it the flavor and it was quite filling.

My family asks for me to make this every time I come home! However, I always use spinach fettucini, fresh pasta from the refrigerated section at the grocery store. It gives it a much better flavor. Always a huge hit!

Love this recipe!! A new family fave for sure. I forgot to add the whipping cream but this dish still came out delish! Next time I think I'll grill the chicken instead.

I have been meaning to make this recipe for over a year - and I finally did. It was very tasty! I ended up having to use lemon instead of limes because I was out and didn't know it until I was cooking. The only recommedation I have is to use low salt soy sauce, because it was a tad slaty. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe was delicious. I would have given it 5 stars except it needed a little more flavor. Possibly a tablespoon more garlic. I added fresh sliced mushrooms. Great choice for my fresh peppers & chicken I bought at the store!

This was delicious! My husband loved it. My daughter took leftover sauce to her boyfriend's. They loved it too. I used garlic chicken broth, plus fresh garlic. Also used more jalapeno because my family loves spicy. I'll definitely make this again and maybe add mushrooms. I'm even thinking of trying the meat and veggie mixture in fajitas.

The taste of tequila and cilantro was mild - too mild for us. As a result, everything tasted good, but seriously lacked a WOW factor. It was similar to the other 10 or so recipes we have tried with chicken and peppers. I give it 5 stars because, really, I can't find a fault in this dish, but I would expect this different combination to amaze me - unfortunately it didn't.

I have never tried the CPK version so I don't know how this compares but I will say that this dish was fantastic! I did marinate the chicken in soy sauce and cook it separately just because I don't like the idea of adding raw chicken to the sauce. Also doubled the jalapenos to 4 TBSP - perfect! Everyone went back for seconds and thirds until there was absolutely nothing left.

Wow! I must say this was GREAT. I pretty much did everything exactly as said. BUT, I marinated the chicken for about an hour or two in Soy Sauce, lime juice, tequila (about 1 TBSP), and olive oil. Then I grilled it and put it aside. Once I had the sauce simmering (towards the end when I put all things together with the whipping cream) I added the chicken (that I cut into 1 inch pieces) and let it simmer in about 10 minutes. I only used 8oz (1 cup)of heavy whipping cream. And it was perfect!

Absolutely delish!! Followed everything exactly except used only l/2 the amount of pasta as others suggested. The amount of sauce was perfect for us - I would suggest doubling the sauce if you made the whole pound of pasta. The 8 oz of pasta served 4 of us. Thanks submitter.

This recipe is truly fabulous. Particularly handy is that there are four major elements (the lime paste, the pasta, the veg and the chicken) that you can prepare earlier then combine in 5 minutes whenever you are ready to eat, which would make it ideal for a dinner party entree. My other half was in raptures over it and is now convinced that I am a domestic goddess. Handy tip - to keep flavor, save the oil you cook the chicken in, and use it to cook the veg.
