This is one of the best recipes I've tried in a while.
It's also a recipe for the longest named dish ever.
Chicken & Artichoke Heart Fettuccine Alfredo. :)
I found this recipe here, after searching much of the internet for the perfect one. I'm the type that will look over a recipe, and if it's more than, say, 5-7 ingredients, I pass it up. I'm lazy. I also pass over most recipes that call for anything fancy. If I don't know the name of an ingredient, it won't be cooked in my house.
It's that simple.
This was a simple, few ingredient, quick recipe. It actually took even less time than the recipe called for.
It was crazy how quickly it was ready.
Here's the recipe (with my little notes included in purple)...
-Pasta-
- 1 lb fettuccine pasta (I could only find linguine in a 16 oz. bag, so that's what I used)
- 1 26 oz. jar Alfredo sauce (or make your own- which I did- recipe is further down)
- 1 jar marinated artichoke hearts, chopped roughly (I used about 3/4 of a can)
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I used leftover rotisserie chicken, just enough for the two of us)
- Mozzarella, Asiago or Parmesan cheese (I bought Asiago specifically for this recipe, but realized I had Mozzarella already when I got home. I think the Asiago was better, though.)
-Alfredo Sauce-
- 1 cup Half & Half
- 1/2 cup ( 8 tbsp.) butter
- 1/2 cup Asiago cheese
Adding the Asiago cheese
Cooking it all together
Noodles cooking
Mixing the chicken into the sauce
Mixing the artichokes in
Stirring it all together
The finished product

-Directions-
Cook chicken & cut up. (In my case, I just had the leftover rotisserie chicken on hand.) Prepare noodles according to packaging. Halfway drain artichoke hearts. Prepare Alfredo sauce, or heat up jar. (If you used the jarred sauced, after heating, skip down to *.)
-To Prepare Alfredo Sauce-
Melt butter & pour in Half & Half. Bring to a simmer, keep heat low & stir in the cheeses. Simmer until smooth.
*After Alfredo sauce is heated & ready, add the cooked chicken & artichokes. After it is heated through, pour over noodles. Garnish with more cheese.

Stopping by from the Not Mommy hop.
ReplyDeleteThat recipe sounds (and looks) easy peasy!!

ReplyDeleteIt's that simple."
That's my philosophy, too. Certainly keeps things easy when we both have the palates of a 5-year old... ;)
Great tutorial! Thank you so much for linking to Foodie Friday! Not Your Ordinary Recipes

totally pinned this! Sounds super delicious! the only thing I don't have on hand are the artichoke hearts. so one ingredient from the store is AWEsOME!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so fab, and right now I wish I had some because I'm hungry. I so love artichokes, and cheese, I might lighten it up with using fat free creme. Thanks for the recipe, and step by step how to. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best.
