How should I cook the chicken breast I plan to add to my fettucini alfredo?

Question

I have the sauce recipe, I'm just not sure how to cook/season the chicken I plan to add to it. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

the sauce already has such a great flavor that i would just keep it simple and cook it in a lil bit of butter for flavor and some salt and pepper

Answer 2

my advice would be to just liberally season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper and brown in olive oil.



If you are looking for a simple coating you can beat an egg, dip the chicken in egg, then in itallian bread crumbs, the brown over medium heat until done all the way through. But I'd personally just roll with the plain chicken, let the alfredo sauce do the talking.

I have had success with baking under aluminum foil cover for about 1.5 hours on 350, then remove the foil and broil for a minute or two to brown it. Be very careful with the broiler though...it will burn in a flash. You can add a few tbsp of Italian dressing to the chicken to keep it moist and add seasoning for you, if you like. This isn't exactly an alfredo recipe, but it may be good. 2 tbsp butter 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp parsley pinch salt dash black pepper 1-1 1/2 cups heavy or light cream 1/4 cup parmesean chs in a small saucepan over medium heat Melt butter and add seasonings, stir in cream and bring to low boil, stirring constantly. Add parmesean cheese while stirring and cook on med-low heat until thick and saucy. Serve immediately over pasta, with chicken. ** Will thicken some more as it cools.

My favorite way to cook chicken for several dishes is take partially defrosted boneless chicken breasts, slice thinly but maintain the original shape of the breast, then slide it into a skillet with a little oil. Brown first side well wiithout touching, then gently turn over and brown the other side without touching. When you put the chicken in the noodles, rice or whatever, it can then be broken up into bite sized pieces with a fork.

While looking for cookbooks online I found a book that has hundreds of recipes from a lot of the famous restaurants including Red Lobster, Applebee's, Olive Garden and The CheeseCake Factory just to name a few. It is loaded with great recipes that I love. Check it out if you want to; http://bit.ly/ePoirn

I see you like to cook. We all like to eat out at restaurants but in today's economy it is one of those things that is getting to expensive to do anymore. If you are looking to duplicate their favorite restaurant recipes I really like this program America's Secret Recipes. It shows you How to Make Your Favorite Restaurant Dishes at Home! I also read that some of the popular restaurants are upset with this guy and are trying to force if off the market. Check it out it might be something you can use.

Answer 7

What I usually do is liberally season with salt and pepper. Then coat with a tiny bit of olive oil. Take some flour, season with salt and whatever seasonings you like (i uses a pinch of paprika and dried oregano) and coat the chicken. Saute in a pan. Voila!

Answer 8

I do it all in one pot. I cut the raw chicken into 1/2 by 1 inch strips, them just drop into the boiling pasta water the last few minutes. Strain, dump back into the pot with a little of the pasta water still in, make your sauce, enjoy!
