Does anyone have a good recipe for Chicken alfredo using 2% milk?

not me!Does anyone have a good recipe for Chicken alfredo using 2% milk?
I've got a couple recipes for you. The first is not traditional, but the cream cheese helps smooth the sauce out, esp. if you are using 2% milk. The second is the real thing, baby, adn I suppose you could just sub H%26amp;H for the heavy whipping cream. To make them Chicken Alreado, just pound out a chicken breast nice and thin, then quickly slap in an oiled skillet or on your bbq grill, cook both sides, then slice up and add on top of each portion.





** **Alfredo Sauce**





1 pint of Heavy Cream (can sub H%26amp;H, but cream is traditional)


1 stick of butter


2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese


1/2 - 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese


1 tsp. garlic powder


Pinch of nutmeg


Salt %26amp; FGBP to taste (fresh ground black pepper)





In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Parmesan cheese and Garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 - 20 minutes on low. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

** Real Fettucine Alredo **





1 pound fresh fettucine


8 Tbsp. butter


1 cup heavy cream


1 cup freshly grated Parmigginao-Reggiano cheese


Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Freshly grated nutmeg





As the water for the pasta begins to boil, melt butter in large saut茅 pan over low heat. Add cream to butter and let it warm.





At the same time, salt the pasta water and cook until al dente. Drain pasta thoroughly, and mix with butter and cream in saut茅 pan over low heat. Add cheese and toss until sauce thickens slightly. Season with pepper and nutmeg.





Remove from heat and serve immediately with additional cheese on the side.





Serves 4-6





--Parmaggano-Reggino Cheese CookbookDoes anyone have a good recipe for Chicken alfredo using 2% milk?
I would have given you the same recipe as godzirra. So I think that is the right one to try. And it really is good.
We like this better than bought. Butter, cream cheese, a bit of milk. microwave until melted, stir in a cup of parmesan cheese.





My kids go crazy for this.
I tried so many recipes but beleive me buying the ready mix bottled alfredo sauce is just as good,more practical, cost and time wise.
No, It is reccommended to use heavy cream.
Yikes ... It isn't going to be as flavorful, but give this a try ... You can scale this depending on how much you want to make.





Take about 2-3 tablespoons of butter and an equal amount of flour. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. When melted, add the flour and about 2 cloves of minced garlic. Keep stirring until you just start to smell a nutty flavor. The color shouldn't change much. When you smell the nutty aroma, slowly add about a cup of the milk ... as it is added and thickens, add more and more milk until it is just a little looser than you want. Add to this a handful of GRATED parmesan (not shredded!) and stir to melt. It should thicken some. If it doesn't thicken enough, just let it cook (stirring quite often) until it reaches the desired consistency. Add some salt and pepper (and basil if you want). Use as a sauce over fettucine pasta and grilled chicken.
