Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground walnuts
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 medium sweet red pepper, julienned
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
1 cup milk
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first six ingredients. Add chicken in batches; toss to coat. In a large skillet, saute the chicken, red pepper and onion in oil for 6-8 minutes until chicken juices run clear and vegetables are crisp-tender.
Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions. In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream cheese and Parmesan cheese; cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Drain fettuccine; top with chicken mixture and sauce. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts. Yield: 4 servings.
