Chicken Alfredo

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken breast tenders

1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning (or other poultry seasoning)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 box Fettuccine noodles

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped

Directions:

Season the chicken with the Cajun seasoning and cook through in a pan over medium heat with the olive oil.  May add a splash of white wine towards the end for extra flavor.  Yes... do that.  Yum.

While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Add the flour and whisk until foamy to make a roux Add the milk at this time and keep whisking to get rid of any clumps.  Simmer until it starts to thicken and add the cheese.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Might as well add some white wine to this too!! Do it when you put in the milk though.  So the alcohol is cooked off.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water, and add the noodles.  Cook about 12 minutes, or until noodles are al dente.  Strain the pasta and add the sauce back to the pot with the noodles.  Cut up the chicken into cubes or shred it and add it to the sauce and noodles.  Mix thoroughly.  Plate up and add parsley on top for garnish.
