First Chicken Alfredo

This is something I've been wanting to make for a while but just didn't have the gusto to do it. I've been craving Alfredo sauce for a while and what better way to get into it than Chicken Alfredo!

This turned out to be a very simple dish to make, it just took lots of preparation. I had purchased two jars of Alfredo and Roasted Garlic sauce on sale and let it simmer for a while, than added Red Bell Pepper and chives, or, onion stalks, which I had chopped. Adding only these two ingredients made it a very pleasing minimalist dish, both visually and to the palette.

I first simmered the pepper and chives in oil for a bit and than put it in the Alfredo sauce. While that was heating, I cooked the chicken. Once the chicken was cooked, it did not take long to boil the noodles. I sliced the chicken into strips while that was boiling, put it aside, and than it was all done!

One thing I forgot to do was toss the Garlic Bread I got in the oven to heat, so that was a bit late in coming.

Overall, very nice meal. I really enjoyed how garlic-y it was, and it looked very professional with the red peppers and smaller pieces of green chives. There was enough left over that I also had enough to pack away for lunch at work! I'll definitely gloat over it tomorrow.
