This was a delicious recipe. I was concerned about it not having enough flavor, so I added a few things/made some changes. I sauteed my chicken in olive oil instead of dressing and added seasoning to it-Emeril's Essence and pepper. I used 16 ounces (1 pound) of fettuccine and used 1 cup of the balsamic vinaigrette (Kraft Balsamic with Tomato and Basil) . I added fresh minced garlic while sauteing the veggies, and cooking fresh broccoli along with the mushrooms and red onions, omitting frozen broccoli. I also used olive oil to saute the vegetables. I added some crushed red pepper flakes and fresh minced parsley in with the tomatoes, dressing and Italian seasoning. While tossing the pasta with the tomato mixture I also tossed in some fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. I let the pasta stand off the heat a few minutes to absorb the sauce. Serve with more Parmesan cheese and garlic bread on the side. I am so glad when I find pasta recipes without cream or milk based sauces. This was so tasty and a nice change. My husband said he could eat it all the time. Thank you!

really didn't have enough flavor. Sounded great on paper, but my family and I thought it was just so-so.

My family loved this recipe! It was easy to put together. I like that it's a healthy alternative to marinara sauce.
