Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

From your Grandma G.

For prom my senior year of high school, my parents hosted our pre-prom dinner, and this dish was its highlight.

1# chicken breasts, sliced thin
8oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 T. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 # uncooked fettuccine pasta
6 T. butter
2/3 C. whipping cream
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. fresh grated Parmesan cheese
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
Pinch white pepper

Saute chicken breast pieces in olive oil with garlic until no longer pink. Add mushrooms, and saute until tender. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Cook pasta until al dente. While pasta is cooking, place butter and cream in 10" heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly until blended and mixture bubbles for 2 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper.

Remove from heat!

Gradually stir in Parmesan until blended and fairly smooth. Return skillet to heat briefly- if needed- to completely blend cheese. Do not boil!

Pour warm sauce over drained pasta, and toss with chicken and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with parsley and additional Parmesan.

Great served with steamed broccoli or asparagus.
