Instructions: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers, onion and garlic; saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until vegetables soften slightly.

While vegetables cook, cut chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat oil in medium pan over high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the chicken shows no pink. Add chicken to softened vegetables. Add tomato, mushrooms, chicken stock, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, white pepper and thyme. Let simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, until mixture thickens.

Meanwhile, bring 4 to 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. If desired, add 1/2 tablespoon salt to water. Cook fettuccine in boiling water until done, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain noodles; add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Toss to mix.

To serve, divide noodles between 2 serving plates. Top each with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with parsley.

Yields 2 large servings (4 regular servings).
