Chicken BLT Fettuccine

Everyone loves a BLT! Everyone loves Pasta! My husband isn't a big fan of pasta with red sauce because he gets heart burn. But sometimes a girl just wants some carbs!! I came up with this recipe one night on a whim. I had a ton of fresh basil in my yard along with some fresh tomatoes. I decided to make something up and this is what happened!! I hope you enjoy!!! It's a mix between Chicken Fettuccine and a BLT!! It received the BLT name  because of the Prosciutto, Basil and Tomatoes.

Chicken BLT Fettuccine
30 Minute Meal                   Serves about 6

Ingredients:
1 package Chicken Breasts, cut to bite size pieces
1/2 cup Fresh Basil, minced
1 package Prosciutto, cooked and then crumbled
1 package Cherry Tomatoes, halved
3 tbls Olive Oil
1 tbls. Garlic, minced
1 tsp. Salt & Pepper
1 box fettuccine, cooked to al dente
1 container shaved Parmesan Cheese, reserve some to top with.

1. In a large skillet, cook the prosciutto and remove to a paper towel.
2. In the same large skillet, heat the oil while the fettuccine cooks separately. Add Chicken and Salt and Pepper.
When the chicken just cooked, add the garlic in. Cook for about 1 minute.
3. Add in the crumbled prosciutto, tomatoes and toss together well.
4. At the last minute add in the pasta, basil and Parmesan cheese. When serving top with a bit more cheese and serve.
This is such a tasty dish. And yes there isn't really a sauce except the oil and moisture from the chicken, you don't need it!!! (Not a recent picture but still posting it!!)
