LINDA'S CHICKEN FANDANGO

Steps:

• Turn the grill on, and set it at 360°F.
• Put 5 quarts water on to boil for pasta in a large pot. When water is boiling add the 1 T. salt, then add the fettuccine. Cook according to directions on box. Drain well, and set aside. Cover.
• Once temperature is up to 360°F, place the chicken on the grill top and close the cover. Cook 15-20 minutes. Test with a knife to see if it is cooked all the way through. When chicken is done, cut it into thin strips horizontally (long way), then into 1" pieces. Set aside.
• Chop shallots, spinach, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes, and put in separate dishes.
• Add 3 oz. of butter flavored oil to a lg. skillet. Heat over high heat and add shallots, then turn down to medium, and let the shallots caramelize, stirring once in awhile, so they don't burn (about 5-7 minutes).
• When shallots are done add spinach, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, grilled chicken, tarragon, salt and pepper. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the white wine, and saute for 2 minutes.
• On medium heat, add the half and half/cream. Let simmer for a few minutes, stirring to incorporate everything. (You don't want the heat too high, or the half and half/cream may curdle). Set aside.
• Run hot water over the cooked pasta for 10 seconds, to heat. Drain thoroughly.
• Put pasta in the saute pan, and using tongs, mix pasta until well incorporated and covered with sauce. Place briefly over low heat to make sure it's heated through. Take off burner.
• Add Asiago cheese, and continue to toss until cheese is completely mixed in with the pasta and sauce.
• Transfer to a large serving bowl with all the juices, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
• Serve in large spaghetti bowls with lots of sauce so you can dip your bread in and savor the juices.
