Food Recipe: Parmesan Chicken Alfredo Pasta

xlovelyday:

Today’s recipe is another one of my personal favorites! It’s super simple & easy to make. All you need are a couple of ingredients and a little bit of time! Here I tried to make the dish a little bit healthier by substituting  regular pasta  with whole wheat pasta and  regular cream with sour cream. I also don’t like the taste of parsley, so I substituted that with spinach. Feel free to adjust the taste to your liking and use ingredients that you like!

Ingredients: 

5-6 Cloves of Garlic

5 Mushrooms

1 can of Chicken Broth

2 Tbsp Corn Starch

1/4 cup Sour Cream

Spinach (optional)

Salt & Pepper

Garlic Powder

Oregano (optional)

Oil 

Water

Grated Parmesan

Chicken Breast 

Whole Wheat Spaghetti Pasta

I searched for good promising and yummy recipes but failed to retrieve something that really bought me. I found this recipe from healthyfood.com - which they named 

Creamy smoked chicken, bacon and mushroom fettuccine

I made alterations, JUST alterations for some reasons:

1. Ingredients are hard to find since it is foreign
2. Evaporated milk and Flour are options, but i havent tried them yet, so might as well use Whipping cream for the sake of posting

Ingridients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil/ butter
• 1 small onion, Finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 rashers rindless eye bacon, cut into small pieces, crisp
• 1 1/2 cups mushroom, quartered
• 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
•     Nestle Whip Cream
• 1 smoked chicken breast, cut in 1 cm cubes

Procedure:

Step 1 Heat oil in a frying pan. Gently fry onion and garlic. Add bacon. Cook for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms. Cook for 2 more minutes.

Step 2 Add basil, evaporated milk and flour to pan mixture. Bring to a light boil, stirring regularly, so it doesn’t stick to pan. Allow to simmer until it thickens./ or Nestle Whip Cream

Step 3 Cook fettuccine following packet directions. Drain. Drizzle with a little olive oil and set aside.

Step 4 Add smoked chicken to pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Add cooked fettuccine to coat in creamy mixture. Cook for about 1 minute until food is heated through.
