Fettuccine Alfredo

This meal was SO good! I had a dinner party with a few friends and had them bring desert and beverages. I bought a loaf of pre-prepared garlic bread and a Caesar salad mix from Smith's to make it easier on myself. I made the mistake of forgetting the noodles and sent my brother to pick them up. Because of this the Alfredo sauce was a little thick, but still tasted good!

Get This:
-1 chicken breast per person you are feeding
-fettuccine noodles
-1 pkg. neufchatel cheese
-1/2 cup low fat milk
-3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
-1 tsp. garlic powder
-1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine
-salt and pepper
-Italian seasoning
-1 tbs. extra virgin olive oil

Do This:
-defrost chicken
-slice chicken against the grain in one inch strips. then season with Italian seasoning.
-in a small skillet on medium heat, heat extra virgin olive oil and drop in your chicken strips.
-boil water and drop in fettuccine noodles.
-in another small saucepan, drop in the package of cream cheese and the stick of margarine. let them melt and mix them until almost smooth. Then add in your milk and garlic powder. mix until smooth. then at the very end add in your Parmesan cheese.
-Layer noodles, chicken and sauce. Serve and enjoy!
**only flip your chicken once when cooking it. It will keep the juices in and be more tender!
