POOR MAN'S ALFREDO SAUCE AN ORIGINAL

Steps:

• Warm 1 1/2 cup Milk in skillet just to low simmer. Mix Corn Starch in 1/2 cup Cold Water to make slurry, add to pan and stir. increase heat and stir until thickened, Corn Starch needs to come to rolling simmer or low boil to thicken. Then reduce heat to low simmer.
• Add the Sour Cream and Cream Cheese if using. Add Butter. and remaining ingredients except salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate. Note: 2 tablespoons Olive Oil could be added in lieu of some of the butter.
• Simmer for ten or fifteen minutes. Stir occasionally then taste. Parmesan is salty so should require very little additional salt. After sampling add salt and pepper to your taste.
• This freezes well. If re-heating a little Milk may be used for the consistency of your liking.
• The Topper -- I like cooked Shrimp or Scallops heaped on my Alfredo. Sauteed Chicken works also.

CHICKEN IN POOR MAN'S RICH CREAM CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken with seasoning salt and garlic powder, and set aside.
• In a microwaveable bowl, mix cream cheese, milk, garlic powder and pepper.
• Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, checking and stirring until cream cheese is melted.
• Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
• Add chicken to pan and saute at medium heat adding small amounts of water to pan, as needed, so that chicken doesn't get too dry or stick to pan. The chicken will release juices that blend with the water.
• When chicken is cooked through, but there is still some of this "juicy water" in the pan, add the sauce to the pan and cook until heated through.
• Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and arrange on a bed of white rice.
• Spoon or pour sauce over the chicken and then sprinkle with parsley or chives.
• NOTE: I usually serve this dish with a side of steamed broccoli drizzled in heated olive oil (I season the heated olive oil with lime juice and garlic powder). YUMMY!
