Easy Italian Creamy Chicken & Spinach Pasta ~ Easy Chicken Recipe

This is a creamy delicious Italian chicken and spinach pasta recipe. I am using fettuccini. A healthy chicken pasta dish that is like an Alfredo but without the cheese. Packed full of flavor and wonderful veggies of onions, bell peppers and carrots. A little back heat with the jalapeno. Served with toasted garlic herbed bread. \r
Enjoy.\r
