Chicken Alfredo Linguine

Lately I have been craving Chicken Alfredo pasta. There were a few times when I was so tempted to just go to Olive Garden and order some Alfredo Fettucine despite how expensive it was. But I managed to talk myself out of it because this scrumptious food seem easy enough to make. So I googled some recipes and came up with my own recipe for my favorite chicken alfredo linguine.

I love how during the proceess of imitating a recipe, you sometimes recreate new recipes that fit your taste bud better than the original recipes do.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and found something more personal for you in the process of cooking.





Ingredients:
--Half box of linguine or however much you desire. I used half a box for my husband and I.
--4 chicken fillet or 2 chicken breasts. Cut into small pieces.
--2 teaspoon of butter
--1 teaspoon of garlic salt
--A dash of black grounded pepper
--8oz of Classic Alfredo Pasta Sauce. * I use the Walmart Great Value kind. And I use about half a bottle of it.
--2 teaspoons of Parmesan style grated toppings/parmesan cheese. *Again, I use the Walmart Great Value brand.
Instructions:
1. Boil the linguine in 10 cups of water for about 15 minutes or til the pasta gets tender.
2. When the linguine is done cooking, drain the water and put the pasta aside.
3. Heat the pan on high and put in the butter. Wait til the butter melts.
4. Put in chicken pieces and stir fry them for about 2 minutes.
5. Turn the fire down to medium and occasionally stir and toss the chicken pieces to get them cooked evenly. This takes about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the chicken.
6. Put in the garlic salt and keep tossing and stirring the chicken.
7. When the chicken is cooked, stir in the Alfredo sauce and mix evenly.
8. Pour in the cooked linguine pasta. Stir the sauce, chicken, and pasta together and mix evenly.
9. Put in the black pepper and parmesan cheese.
10. Stir and coat evenly. Then turn off the fire.
Cheap, tasty, and home-made.


Happy Cooking!
