Lemon Chicken Alfredo

Sauce:

Tonight I was in the mood for chicken. And lemon. So I was broiling a bit of lemon pepper chicken in the oven when I thought of a yummy sounding recipe. So I googled it, and lo and behold, it is an actual recipe. I followed this recipe from Mmm...Cafe and just changed it a little bit. Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of it!!! Anyway, if you like lemony chicken goodness, you'll love this recipe!


I did one large chicken breast, covered with olive oil and lemon pepper, in the oven at 400 degrees. Then once it was almost done, I took it out, cut it up into bite-sized chunks, and stirred it in a bowl with a little bit more oil and lemon pepper (so all the sides of the pieces were exposed) then put them back in the oven for a few minutes.


Then I used the recipe for alfredo sauce (below) only I added another shake or two of lemon pepper (because I didn't have lemon peel) and 6 Tablespoons lemon juice.


Then prepare your noodles (I like linguine) and pour the sauce over and top with the chicken.


Hopefully I'll get a picture soon -- (Davis asked if we could add this to our regular rotation of favorite meals, so I'm sure we'll be making it again :)

Alfredo Sauce

I found this tasty recipe for alfredo sauce and it is really easy and good. Plus I like to think that because it has a little chicken broth that means it has less fat in it. Ha!

1/4 Cup butter
3/4 Cup flour
1 1/2 Cup 2% milk
1 1/2 Cups chicken broth
3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp. Parsley Flakes
2 tsp. Oregano

Melt the butter on low heat. Add flour, milk and broth and cook until slightly thicken. Add Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup at a time. Heat until parmesan is melted, then add parsley flakes and oregano.
