3 whole broiler-fryer chicken breasts, skinned, boned and cut in strips
Marinade (recipe follows)
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, cut in 2-inch pieces
1 pound fettucine
6 tablespoon olive oil, divided use
1/8 teaspoon hot oil
1/4 cup, plus chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 each large green, red and yellow pepper, cut in 2-inch strips
1/4 pound snow peas, trimmed
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
