Grilled Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo


Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup steamed broccoli
1/2 cup diced blanched tomatoes
16 oz raw fettuccine noodles
5 Tbsp butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups chicken broth
3 Tbsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp corn starch mixed with water as needed
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
- Grill chicken in saute pan 5 min each side. Cut into strips and set aside. Remove Broccoli stems and steam for 5 minutes. Blanche tomatoes until skin is peeling off. Peel, remove seeds and dice, set aside.
- Cook pasta in boiling water. Drain, rinse with warm water and set aside.
- Prepare the Alfredo sauce in large saute pan. Melt the butter adding the minced garlic. Saute garlic until brown, add both the chk broth and the heavy cream. Reduce heat for several minutes. Next add corn starch and water mixture slowly while stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Add Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt/pepper. Combine the fettuccine noodles and the sauce. Return to flame and cook about 1 minutes. Add chicken, broccoli and tomatoes. Heat through.

Notes: Sometimes we grill the chicken on the BBQ. I rarely take the time to blanch the tomatoes...usually just chop them up and throw them in.
