MICKEY'S GRILLED CHICKEN ALFREDO
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 lb. butter
8 oz. package cream cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 lb. Fettuccine or Rotini
1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Wild Bill's Dry Meat Rub (to taste)
2 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
Preheat grill to 350 degrees and season boneless and skinless chicken breast
with salt, fresh ground black pepper and Wild Bill's Dry Meat Rub on both
sides. Allow chicken to sit for about 30 minutes coming up to room
temperature and place chicken breast on grill and quickly sear both sides to
retain moisture and rotate chicken pieces 90 degrees for grill pattern if
you desire. Cook about 25 to 30 minutes until done or juices run
clear.
While chicken breast are grilling, in a medium saucepan melt 1 stick of
butter; do not substitute margarine. Once butter is melted add cream
cheese and when the cream cheese is softened add the heavy whipping cream.
Season with garlic powder, salt, fresh ground black pepper and a pinch of
cayenne pepper and simmer mixture on low heat (sauce should be bubbling) for
15 to 20 minutes stirring constantly and adjust seasonings as needed.
Cook fettuccine as directed on the box which is about 12 minutes boiling
uncovered for al dente. Once sauce is thickened, remove from heat and
stir in the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese which should be at room temperature
also. Serve over hot Fettuccine noodles
and grilled chicken garnishing with fresh chopped parsley with a side of
toss salad and home made garlic bread. A good white wine will
complement this excellent meal.
YIELD: 4 servings
NOTE: Do not use Kraft Grated Parmesan cheese in the canister
otherwise your Alfredo will not taste right. I used Parmigiano
Reggiano Cheese that was made in Italy! Some recipes used anywhere
from 2/3 cup to 1 lb. of the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and I
probably used more than a cup but this cheese and it's wonderful rich and
robust flavor goes a very long way!
I researched the internet for secret recipes and knock off Alfredo recipes
and this one has a few of my own modifications and do believe this version
will top Olive Garden's Alfredo recipe. I give this recipe 5 plus stars.
