M'Eloise Waters of Yakima, Washington, writes: "Throughout the years, I have enjoyed so many 'R.S.V.P.' recipes, and now I have a request of my own: the chicken pasta from Spazzo Mediterranean Grill in Bellevue, Washington. It has fresh herbs, walnuts, almonds, and caramelized onions."

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken tenders, cut in half crosswise
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 onions, diced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

    Add sauce, chicken, half of dill, and half of parsley and toss to coat. Transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with remaining herbs and serve immediately.
