Week 1, day 2 of Healthy Cooking!

Hi guys! Welcome back to my blog!

As mentioned, on Tuesday, September 2nd I made Healthy Chicken Alfredo. For the first time, I actually used my kitchen appliances. By doing so, I now actually know where everything I need is! My friends were shocked and happy for me that I made my first dish (and it tasted very good may I add).

I followed Olena Osipov’s recipe, which was:

  1. Fill large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
  2. In a medium bowl, add cold stock, milk, cornstarch, 1/2 tsp salt and whisk with a fork. Set aside.
  3. In the meanwhile, preheat large deep ceramic non-stick skillet on medium heat and swirl oil to coat.
  4. Sprinkle chicken with a bit of salt and pepper, add to a skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While chicken is cooking, add 1 tsp of salt and pasta to boiling water. Cook for 7 minutes until pasta is al dente, stirring a few times to make sure noodles do not stick.
  6. Give cornstarch mixture a whisk and add it to the skillet. Stir, bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes or until bubbly and thickened.
  7. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic and stir until cheese has melted.
  8. Using tongs, transfer noodles directly from the pot to the skillet. No need to drain in a colander. Grab a bunch at a time, hold right above the pot for a few seconds and add to the skillet.
  9. Stir and add peas, broccoli or spinach. Let chicken alfredo warm through for a minute.
  10. Turn off the heat and garnish with parsley and black pepper. Serve hot.
Here is my finished product from following the recipe and it tasted great! Not as quick to make as I thought, but it was still a great dish to make. 8/10 recommend!

Next week I will be cooking Parmesan Chicken Pasta!
