Quick Dinner / Supper menu Chicken Alfredo

small iceburg lettuce salad w/ ranch or honey french dressing
garlic toast
Chicken Alfredo with Pasta
Kentucky butter cookies

small salad:
The salad can be as simple as you like.
*Wash all produce well before using.
You can either buy a premixed package of salad or using small salad bowls as your guide, tear off enough lettuce from a store bought head of lettuce to fill one bowl for each dinner guest. We like to add a few bacon bits, home made croutons, uncooked chow mein noodles, roasted- shelled sesame seeds and sprinkle a little shredded monteray jack cheese on top. With this alfredo dish either ranch or honey french dressing tastes best for your salad.

garlic toast:
Same thing with the toast, either buy a pre-made garlic toast from your grocery freezer section, cook as directed or quickly make your own.
Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
Using Texas toast or a few slices of french bread ; butter one side of the bread, place butter-up on the cookie sheet. I like to sprinkle each slice with a little garlic salt and top with grated romano / parmesan cheese blend (we call it sprinkle cheese around here). Sometimes I will use the garlic salt and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.

About 6-10 minutes before your chicken is done place in the oven to melt the butter and get your garlic toast lightly browned.

Quick Chicken Alfredo Recipe

4-6 boneless breaded or plain chicken breast filets
1/2 to 1 lb linguini or fettucini or bowtie pasta
1 jar of creamy garlic alfredo sauce
(my favorite brand is Classico)

on a cookie sheet place chicken breast filets, bake as directed.
I like to use breaded filets.

while your chicken is baking:
cook the pasta until done, drain.
In a large saucepan on low:
Add the hot cooked noodles and the jarred sauce, stir, coating pasta well.
After the chicken is done cut in bite size pieces and add to the sauce and pasta mixture.
Stir well to coat chicken.
make sure everything is heated well
that's it !!!!!
can't get any easier than that...
