Chicken & Vegetables Alfredo
6 comments » 
The one thing that I am really beginning to love is making up recipes totally from scratch. I’ve really done this from the beginning, however I had limited success when I wasn’t starting with a “base” recipe. In reality all it took was a little more confidence and now I can’t seem to stop myself from making things up! This is one of those recipes…
Chicken & Vegetables Alfredo
Ingredients:
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper-to taste
1 teaspoon Herbes de Provence
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red pepper-slice
1 yellow pepper-sliced
1/2 onion-sliced
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese-shredded
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
8 ounces pasta-cookedDirections:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a shallow baking dish, add about 1/2 inch of water. Lay the chicken breasts in the water and sprinkle with salt, pepper and Herbes do Provence. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until done and golden. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the red pepper, yellow pepper and onion until soft. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and add in the flour, stirring until the flour is incorporated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the whipping cream (or milk, if you prefer) slowly, stirring constantly, until thickened a bit. Add in the Parmesan, stir until melted in and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
To serve you could do a few things. As shown in the photo you could slice the chicken and lay it over a bed of vegetables and drizzle with the cream sauce. Or you could mix the cream sauce into the pasta noodles, then put the chicken and vegetables on top. Or, you could cut up the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix the whole lot together. Anyway you make it, it is fabulous!
Oh, my, this looks fabulous!!! Chicken, peppers and Alfredo….mmmmmmm.
Love the Alfredo – the chicken looks so succulent and lovely!Making something from scratch is not only fun,it also makes you sure of whatever you are putting into the dish – something that you have to figure out in store-bought ready-to-make dishes!
Beautiful photo! Sounds delicious!
