Well, I surprised myself tonight.....I set out to make chicken, but because I ran out of things to do with it, I decided I wanted to make a creamy butter garlic sauce. I ended up with something more like alfredo and OMG it was good......
The only problem is, I kinda made it as I went along, so I am gonna estimate measurments best I can. But As long as you know the ingredients, and how i cooked it, I am sure ya can wing it to!
For chicken and sauce what you will need:
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1+lb)
Heavy Cream
Butter
Canola Oil
Fresh minced garlic, and powder too
Salt and Pepper
Parmasean Cheese (powdery grated)
First I filled the fying pan with Canola........
Heated it up, then threw in about a table spoon of the minced garlic and let it brown...
Then, I cooked the chicken in the pan, adding a tiny bit of salt and pepper to the cutlet, and a pinch of garlic powder
Everytime I put new cutlets in the pan I added a bit more garlic....
Pat with paper towel to get off excess oil and put aside.....
For sauce:
First, I melted about a half a cup of butter (maybe less) just slightly, over about med/high heat
Then I added about a cup maybe a bit more of heavy cream...(I added as i went along to adjust he cream/butter ratio)
I added some fresh garlic, and salt and pepper
I let it come to a boil and boil for about 5-6 mins, stirring every 2 mins or so....
then when it reduced a bit, I added about 1/4 cup of the parmesean cheese ( too much is too cheesy, but add a little or alot for your taste)
Then I stirred, and added some garlic powder, and kept it the light at low/med
Take it off the light and let it sit a min or so, and it will thicken!
Waala! Creamy alfredo! Oh, I also made about 6 long stalks of broccoli, steamed, and put the sauce on it!
Now, Nutrition facts.......
Chicken 0 carbs
However, alfredo in the store has carbs.....but this one, I would like your opinion on......
Heavy Cream = carbs
Butter = 0 carbs
Parm cheese = 1 carb per 1/3 cup
so figure the whole sauce has about 2 carbs?
I'd like to know your take on it!
Well enjoy my recipie, although it is a bit hard to understand, but it so good! If ya ever had the alredo dipping sauce at olive garden it tasted identical! Enjoy Guys!
Love,
