Tonight I made an easy Alfredo-garlic sauce and served it on fettuccine noodles with baked chicken tenders and broccoli on the side....
I first put the water on to boil for the noodles. I didn't start the sauce until the water boiled up so that it would all be hot at the same time.
For the sauce:
Heat 1 Tbsp EVOO
Add 1/2 an onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
Once heated through add:
1 1/4 cup milk, 1 package room temperature cream cheese, and 2 Tbsp room temp. butter
Stir often and do this on low heat
Then add 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt
(the original recipe suggested adding bacon, spinach, and/or pine nuts...go ahead if you want...but it was good as I've commented above)
For the baked chicken:
Heat oven at 350 degrees.
Melt 2 Tbsp butter.
Add raw chicken tenders.
Cook 9 minutes on each side. Salt and serve. For some this might make the chicken too dried out...set the timing for how you like your chicken.
I felt like I out did myself tonight. My husband didn't have to eat leftovers ...again. :)
