1 pound Spinach Fettuccine, uncooked
1/2 cup chopped Fresh Cilantro
2 tablespoons minced Garlic
2 tablespoons minced Jalapeno Pepper
3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
2 tablespoons Gold Tequila
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 1/4 pounds Chicken Breast, diced 3/4 inch

Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain. Saute cilantro, garlic and jalapeno in 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, tequila and lime juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until reduced to a pastelike consistency. Set aside. Pour soy sauce over diced chicken. Marinate for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook onion and peppers, stirring occasionally, with remaining butter over medium heat until wilted. Add chicken and soy sauce; toss and add reserved tequila/lime paste and cream. Bring to a boil, until chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Toss with hot pasta and serve immediately.
