Chicken Alfredo

Ok. This is not a diet food. But it is the best chicken alfredo you could possibly eat. Definitely restaurant quality! Pair this with some roasted veggies and crusty bread, and you'll have the best dinner ever.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 of a lb. (12 oz.) of pasta (use ANY PASTA you like! Sometimes I use penne, sometimes I use angel hair spaghetti... it depends on my mood and what I have on hand)

• 4 thin slices of chicken breast

• 2 tsp. garlic powder

• 2 tsp. onion powder

• 1 tsp. paprika

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 1 stick of butter (you will use this a little at a time, not all at once; and you may not even use it all)

• 2 1/2 cups heavy cream

• 2 cups of freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a large pot, bring some water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt.

2. Season the chicken on both sides with the spices and salt/pepper.

3. Put 2 Tbsp. of your stick of butter into a large skillet on medium heat. Cook the chicken in the butter until fully cooked through, about 2-3 minutes on each side. If you are using thicker chicken breasts, it will take a bit longer. Keep adding butter as you need it.

4. Remove the chicken to a clean plate to cool a bit while you make the sauce. Add in some more butter and all of the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper. Be careful to not add too much salt, because the Parmesan is quite salty. You can always add more salt at the end.

5. Let the butter and cream cook on medium for several minutes until thickened. Stir frequently. At this point, add in your pasta to the boiling water.

6. Add in all of the Parmesan cheese. Cook another 2 minutes until creamy. Taste for seasonings.

7. In the meantime, cut up or shred your chicken and add it to back to the sauce to warm through. Drain your pasta well and add to your sauce.

***If the sauce seems too thick, you can always add more heavy cream to thin it out!***
