Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya
Sure =)
Ingredients:
chicken breast ( boneless, skinless, cut into bite size cubes - I use two chicken breasts, depends on how much you want)
6-7 cloves of garlic, diced
one onion, diced
one stick of butter
Italian seasoning
salt/pepper
white pepper
shredded monterey jack cheese (amount depends on how cheesy you want your alfredo)
shredded Parmesan cheese (amount is same as above)
one package of fettucine pasta, boiled/cooked
2 cups of milk
1 cup of half and half
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/3 cup of flour
Take half of the stick of butter (save the rest for later) and melt it in a skillet. Take half of the diced garlic (save the rest for later), and cook it till fragrant…about 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken breast, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until it’s done. When done, take it out and place it aside. Take your milk and half and half and mix it together in a separate bowl (ease for later on).
Using the same skillet (to save messiness, or another one your choice)…melt the other half of the butter and add in the onion and left over garlic from earlier. Cook until the onion is transparent and starting to get golden on the edges. Add in the flour and continue stirring (keep the heat to about medium) and cook the flour out about 4-5 minutes, and keep stirring…you don’t want burnt flour…you’re simply trying to cook out the floury taste. Now lower the heat a bit more, and add the milk/half and half mixture slowly while continuously whisking it in. The roux will thicken eventually, add white pepper and salt to season it up. Once the roux is slightly thick…turn the heat off and start adding your cheese. Make sure to turn off the hat, otherwise the sauce will be gritty. Whisk together continuously until all the cheeses are melted. Now add in the chicken and fold in your fettuccine and voila - all done! =)
