Spicy Chicken Alfredo

[2dogsmom]

personally, i do not find this dish spicy, but you could certainly increase the amount of red pepper to "kick it up a notch!"

2 tbls butter
1 tsp minced garlic
12 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp rubbed sage
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp white pepper
pinch ground red pepper
1/3 c chopped green onions
1 c heavy or whipping cream
12 oz thin spaghetti, cooked according to package
2 tbls chopped fresh parsley
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. stir in the chicken and seasonings; cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
stir in the green onions; cook for 1 minute more. carefully add the cream. increase heat to high and boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
combine the chicken mixture, pasta, and parsley in a serving bowl; toss to mix. sprinkle with parmesan.
yield: 4 servings.

it really is--it's one of my favorites, also very quick and easy. we don't have it very often though, at 30 g of fat a serving!!

i bet you make it for your dogs though!
but seriously, i'm going to try this within the next week or 2. i'm thinking i'll definitely up the amount of red pepper, and i'll be sure to report back :)

i do not intentionally make it for my dogs, but they do usually end up "sampling" dinner!
