CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH BROCCOLI AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Prepare Alfredo sauce as follows: 1) Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. 2) Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. 3) Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out any lumps. 4) Stir in Parmesan cheese and pepper. 5) Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. 6) Sauce will thicken rapidly, so thin with milk if cooked too long.
• In a saucepan, cook broccoli florets, carrots, and red bell pepper in boiling water until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Drain.
• Grill chicken breasts in a lightly oiled skillet and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and slice into bite sized pieces. Keep warm.
• Boil pasta in water until pasta is tender, but still al dente. Do not overcook!
• Remove pasta and drain thoroughly.
• Toss hot pasta together with sauce, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers and chicken and serve piping hot. I like mines with a little extra Parmigiano sprinkled on top.
