Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound uncooked fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-in. strips
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 pound prosciutto, julienned
  • 1 shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped dried apricots
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

Directions

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions for al dente; drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Transfer to a serving platter; keep warm.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add to skillet; cook and stir until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Remove chicken. Add remaining oil to skillet; stir in next 5 ingredients and saute 4-6 minutes. Return chicken to skillet.
  3. Stir in wine and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced slightly, 2-4 minutes. Pour chicken mixture over fettuccine; add cheese and tarragon. Toss to combine, adding enough reserved pasta water to moisten pasta. Top with toasted walnuts.

Test Kitchen tips
  • Toasting nuts brings out every bit of flavor. Trust us, you'll be amazed by how much flavor comes from such a small amount.
  • Don't omit the apricots; their subtle sweetness makes this dish!
  • Feel free to substitute thinly sliced bacon or pancetta for the prosciutto.
