Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Grilled Chicken:

For this recipe the chicken breasts are grilled 5-7 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Make sure to pound the breasts before grilling. The internal temperature should reach 165°F, then you can remove it from the grill. After the chicken breasts have cooled enough to touch you can chop it into pieces using a knife on a cutting board.

Make The Alfredo Sauce:

On a cutting board chop the garlic cloves finely.

In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy whipping cream into the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, salt, pepper, and freshly shredded parmesan cheese. Whisk it quickly until it is all melted and well combined. Add the egg yolk and lemon juice and stir. Sauce will be thickened. If the mixture is too thick you can add more cream.

Turn the heat on low and add the spinach. Drain the oil out of the sun-dried tomatoes and blot it with a paper towel. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and stir.

Cook The Fettuccine Noodles:

Cook the pasta noodles according to the package instructions and drain.

Combine All The Ingredients:

After the chicken is done grilling and pasta is cooked you can stir them both in and gently toss to combine.

Serve right away and garnish with parsley and more fresh parmesan if desired.

This recipe is great for that special date or holiday meal.
