    Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken

    February 7, 2015 - By 

    Today is National Fettuccine Alfredo Day! Whaaa??? With that being said, I thought I’d share my recipe for this Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. This sauce is smooth and creamy. I think the key to making this meal a step above this dish is to marinate the chicken! I simply marinate the chicken in Italian dressing. This give it a nice flavor that’s goes nicely with the Alfredo sauce and it’s not too overbearing. If you prefer shrimp in your Alfredo, those can be marinated as well. Servings: 4 Prep Time: 5 minutes + marinating time Cooking Time: 15 minutes Ingredients:…

    A couple weeks ago I posted a yummy recipe of Chunky Buffalo Chicken. I made a triple batch of it because I had several pounds of chicken that I thawed out and it needed to be used.

    Spicy Honey BBQ Wings

    July 15, 2009 - By 

    The other day I was inspired to try out an idea. I thought of curing up boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite size or maybe a little larger pieces. Bread them and made a sauce to coat them in. I didn’t want to use the regular wing sauce, so I decided to make my own sauce. This is now added to our family favorite’s list. I usually have to make about 3 batches worth, because my family eats a load of these! Servings: 4 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 30 minutes Here is the secret recipe for our Spicy…
