One "throw together" meal I can always rely on is any combination of chicken, veggies, and pasta! I even think I may have a few recipes similar to this one already posted, but in this one I made my own Alfredo sauce!
This can be a quick recipe if you can multi-task in the kitchen...
Chicken Veggie Alfredo
Whole wheat penne pasta
Chicken tenderloins
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Garlic Garlic (dried minced garlic)
Seasoned salt
Cherry tomatoes
Zucchini
Squash
Asparagus
Garlic salt
Alfredo Sauce
1 Pint heavy cream
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Minced garlic (fresh or jar)
Parmesan
Salt and pepper
Parsley
Start by boiling water to cook your pasta...
Heat a pan and drizzle with olive oil. Add chicken tenderloins to pan. Salt and pepper both sides and add Garlic Garlic and Seasoned Salt. When chicken is almost cooked through, remove from pan and cut into chunks. Return to pan to finish cooking.
While chicken is cooking, chop all veggies.
Don't forget to start cooking your pasta!
When chicken is finished cooking, add chopped cherry tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and asparagus to the chicken. Season with garlic salt to taste.
Cover and cook until veggies are done to your desired tenderness. Usually when the veggies turn a little brighter in color, they are done perfectly for me!
Is there anything more beautiful?!
So I looked up some random recipe for Alfredo sauce that called for a pint of heavy cream, but I think I ended up using about 3/4 of the pint...add the heavy cream to the chicken/veg mix.
Add the 2 tbsp butter, 2 tbsp garlic, and then the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste!
Mix over medium heat...
As you mix, the liquid will begin to reduce and thicken.
Continue cooking over medium heat and mixing until the liquid becomes thick enough to be a "sauce."
Add some black pepper and parsley and give one last stir...
Add your cooked pasta to the pan and fold the pasta into the mixture.
Serve and top with parsley and black pepper.
