Easy Chicken Alfredo

By -


8 oz. light cream cheese
1 3/4 cup milk
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. pepper
3 Tbsp. dry parsley or 1/2 c. fresh
grilled chicken cut into strips

Put cream cheese, milk, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until no clumps. Pour into a saucepan on medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add parsley and grilled chicken strips and stir. Serve over your favorite cooked noodles. I prefer whole grain fettuccine. This is a lighter Alfredo sauce than most made with butter and cream. This sauce does thicken as it cools and you may need to add more milk when re-heating.

Turn on your kitchen machine, then add the vital-wheat gluten, remaining flour (until dough cleans sides of bowl),dough enhancer and salt. While the mixer is still running, push the auto-knead button if you have one, otherwise let it knead on a medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Remove dough from bowl, form loaves, let raise for 25 minutes, then bake for 30 minutes at 350. I usually get 5 loaves from this recipe. I also pat the top of the loaves after I form them before putting them in the pan to help get rid of air bubbles. I also spread a little oil or spray non-stick cooking spray on the tops of the loaves to...
