Ingredients

6          ounces fettuccine, uncooked
2          tablespoons olive oil, divided
1          pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in 1 inch chunks
12        ounces white button mushrooms, sliced (about 4-1/2 cups)
1          jar (about 17 ounces) Alfredo sauce

Directions

Cook fettuccine according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until golden on all sides, about 5 minutes; remove to a plate. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet. Add mushrooms; sauté until lightly browned, and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; return chicken to skillet; stir in Alfredo sauce and 1 cup peas, if desired; cover and simmer until sauce is hot, about 3 minutes; stirring occasionally. Serve over fettucine, sprinkled with parsley, if desired.
