FRESH FETTUCCINE WITH PULLED ROTISSERIE CHICKEN, PESTO, AND ROAS



Fresh Fettuccine With Pulled Rotisserie Chicken, Pesto, and Roas image

What better to cook than something so fast and packed with flavor? I got this recipe from Sara Moulton's show. Instead of pulled rotisserie I just fried chicken breast with adobo. I also omitted the olives since they're not my taste. I almost went into a panic when I thought I lost the recipe. That's how much I love it!
