- Pan fry chicken breasts. I didn't add any seasoning but you can if you want. Cut into bite size pieces, set aside
- Start cooking noodles
- For Sauce; Melt butter then add flour. Stir together to create a roux.(or thickener)
- Then add milk. Stir together cooking only on low.
- Once the milk is heated thoroughly, add the chicken bouillon, add pepper, lemon pepper.
- Add Parmesan cheese and Mozzarella. If sauce needs to be thicker add more Parmesan cheese.
- Do not cook on a high heat it will curdle the milk!
- When sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, add * optional spinach and mushrooms. If you would like you can add chicken now or wait and put it on top when done.
- Simmer until noodles are done cooking.
- When you take it off the heat, add the lemon juice.
- Pour sauce over noodles top with *optional pine nuts.
We tried this last night and it was really good. We have tried a few different Alfredo recipes but this was the tastiest and had the least fat (I even used 1% milk). I think it was slightly strong, and I thought next time I would only add 2 bouillon cubes, but Carie thought it was perfect. Also I sauteed the mushrooms and put them on top at the end, it was delicious.
