3 - 4 leaves of sage


1 cup broccoli florets (optional)


1 red pepper, seeded, coarsley diced, sautéed in olive oil or butter (optional)


8 oz pasta (fettuccine, tagliatelle) or 12 oz (3/4 package) penne, etc. (fettuccine is heavier).


8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (or 4 of olive oil for sauteeing the chicken and 4 of butter for the sauce)


1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), at room temperature, plus extra cheese to pass at the table


2 cup heavy cream or Half and Half (or 1/2 of each)


salt and freshly ground pepper (use white pepper if you have it)


a pinch of grated nutmeg


Pasta pot; pan large enough to hold all ingredients and pasta.





SET the pasta water to boil in your pasta pot.





IN the large sauté pan large enough to hold all the ingredients, sauté the chicken in 4 tablespoons of butter or good olive oil until lightly browned. Set chicken aside on a warm plate.





ADD the pasta to the boiling water in the pasta pot. Remember to reserve some of the cooking water to moisten your chicken Alfredo if it is too dry.





IN the sauté pan: ADD the heavy cream, 4 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to the same pan. Keep cooking on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture reduces slightly and thickens.





ADD pinch of nutmeg, 3 - 4 leaves of sage, salt and pepper to taste. Stir.





ADD the cooked chicken and optional ingredients and mix again. Taste for salt. Add a TBSP or two of the pasta cooking water if too dry.





ADD the cooked and well-drained pasta to the sauce. Mix well with a wooden spoon.





TURN into a warmed serving bowl, or directly onto warmed plates.





VARIATION: Turn pasta mixture into a baking dish, sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese on top, and set under broiler for about 30 seconds, until flecked with brown.

Cajun Chicken Alfredo





4 (5-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts


1 cup blackening spice (recommended: Paul Prudhomme's Chicken)


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


3 tablespoons minced garlic


1 cup roughly chopped marinated sun-dried tomatoes


1/4 cup white wine


3 cups heavy cream


3/4 cup grated Parmesan


1 teaspoon sea salt


1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


1 pound cooked fettuccine


1/2 cup sliced scallions





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Dredge the chicken breasts in the blackening spice and place in a cast iron skillet over very high heat. Blacken both sides of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Slice in strips on the bias and set aside.





In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add garlic and lightly caramelize. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken slices. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add the heavy cream, increase the heat to a simmer, and reduce the cream sauce by half.





When the cream sauce is to desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, and pasta.





Nest the pasta on large rimmed plates, pour sauce over pasta, and garnish with scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan

Cook chicken and remove all skin and bones. For the chicken you have I am fairly sure I has a nice browned skin so boil it in 2 qts of chicken stock or a good bullion. This will get all the nice flavors from the skin and bones. Cut the chicken in bite sized pieces. Slice one carrot into coins. Chop a stalk or two of celery, add a nicely chopped onion and about 1 tsp. chopped garlic. Cook until everything is tender and aromatic. Add noodles, as many or as few as you like. A few noodles and you will have a wonderful soup. If you want to make a casserole instead, just add more noodles and drain off the liquid when they are cooked. Add a can of cream of celery or cream of chicken soup. Pour into casserole dish and top with buttered cracker crumbs. Bake in 350 degree oven till crumbs are golden brown. Both of these are really good.
MMm, I love rotisserie chickens! Be sure to add all the juice in the bottom of the container to the noodle dish!

Easy Peasy......





Cook up some noodles


Pull chicken from bone into bite size pieces





make a nice cream sauce-





Heat olive oil in a skillet and add sliced onions. Saute until onion are soft, but not brown. Add a couple cloves of minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon or so each of a few herbs... oregano, basil, tarragon, thyme, marjoram, whatever you like. Add a splash of cream or milk and bring to a simmer. Add chicken, salt and pepper and heat for another minute or two. Put chicken cream sauce over noodles and top with grated parmesan cheese.
I usually do this with Turkey around the holidays, however the concept is similar.





If your making Chicken noodle soup, try adding onions, garlic, sesame oil, and a minute before you pull it, drop a raw egg, and stir it. Add pepper to your liking.
Cut it up and heat it with chicken broth and then add your noodles. I use Amish homemade ones. You will need to season it to taste.
I like to use ramen with some onions and chicken. Just put them together with water in a teflon pan and heat and eat.
