Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo (Or Asparagus)

"The homemade Alfredo is a must to achieve a quality dish. Some sauce tips: Always use real Parmesan cheese and grate it yourself. Canned Parmesan will result in a grainy texture in your sauce. Bring the Parmesan to room temperature by letting it sit on the counter for 15 to 20 minutes once it is shredded. Cheese that is at room temperature will melt and blend evenly, helping you attain a creamy and smooth texture to your sauce. Slowly whisk the Parmesan into the hot cream and butter mixture. Stir until it is melted and combined."

  1. Gailanng, I made this as directed, other than having to change the vegetables .... I didnt realise that broccoli was in short supply currently, and I only had green peppers ... I'd like to try this again with red pepper, simply for the colour, but I confess I enjoyed the mushrooms I used in this dish. Otherwise I made this dish as directed, yum, so rich and creamy, very much the kind of meal I enjoy and definitely a good supper to look forward to after a long day! I had some garlic bread in the fridge which topped the meal off wonderfully!<br/>Thank you, much enjoyed, made for Oz/NZ Reunion tag game, November 2011

Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
