Kosher salt
12 ounces fettuccine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 bell peppers, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced jalapeño

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, then drain.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeño, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, lime juice, soy sauce and tequila, bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and return to a simmer. Stir in the rotisserie chicken and heat through.
Divide the pasta among 4 bowls. Top with the chicken mixture and cilantro. Serve with the lime wedges.
