PASTA CARRABBA 
CHICKEN:

6 chicken breasts, skinned & boned
6 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c. fresh basil leaves
Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

SAUCE & PASTA:

3 tbsp. butter
4 med. shallots (no substitutions)
2 c. cream
6 oz. fresh mushrooms
1 c. frozen English peas
Salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
1 (9 oz.) pkg. fresh fettuccine
2 oz. fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Cut breasts in half and place side by side on a platter. Drizzle with the vinegar and oil. Cut basil leaves and sprinkle over the breasts; sprinkle salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Grill the breasts or bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Set aside.

Peel and finely chop shallots. Saute in butter 1 minute. Add cream, salt and pepper to taste. Boil to reduce slightly to the consistency of a light sauce, just thick enough to coat a spoon. Add mushrooms and peas and cook another 2 minutes.

Cook pasta, drain and shake out excess water. Thinly slice chicken. Add to pasta and gently toss with sauce, along with cheese. Serve immediately. Serves 8 to 10.

Recipe was very good. I tweeked it just a bit by adding 2 large crushed garlic cloves and added them towards the end of sauteeing the shallots. I also added 1/4 tspn garlic salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Tasted just like Carrabbas per my son who eats this dish all the time at the restaurant.

Thought this recipe was fantastic. Made it for my wife one night. She loved it, but I only used 3 chicken breasts instead of 6 and it was perfect. Chicken was perfectly tender and sauce was very flavorful. Highly recommend this recipe for whoever doesn't want to blow $50.00 at Carabbas for 2 adults and one kid.
