Chicken Fettucini Alfredo

Aaron and I were starving around dinner tonight with an empty cupboard and fridge. So what did we do? Blew $100 at the grocery store; how is this sooo easy to do? Its doesn't seem like that much when it is in your cart.  Anyways....we bought food so I could make Chicken Fettucini Alfredo. And boy was it gooooood! I will tell you how I made it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 box of fettucini noodles
  • 1 12 oz jar of Ragu fettucini sauce
  • parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
  • Spinach (optional) **could add to Alfredo sauce after cooked in vegetable oil in small pan.
  • milk
  • 2 frozen chicken breast
  • Frozen Garlic Bread
  • salt and pepper
  • vegetable oil


Utensils:

  • Pasta Pot
  • Frying pan
  • Small Sauce pan
  • Tongs
  • Baking Sheet
  • 3 burners and an oven


Preparation 30 minutes:

  1. Thaw chicken two hours prior.
  2. Preheat oven for garlic bread. 
  3. Sauce- Put the whole jar of Ragu in the saucepan. Cover the top of the sauce with a layer of parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. You want the pepper to almost completely cover the sauce with a few white specks in view. Stir the sauce so the ingredients are distributed. Set sauce aside.
  4. Begin to cook chicken in frying pan in vegetable oil with salt and pepper for seasoning.
  5. Boil water for fettucini.
  6. When water is boiling add noodles.
  7. Pop the garlic bread into the oven.
  8. Put the Sauce on the burner at medium high heat. 
  9. When Chicken is fully cooked take off heat and slice at an angle.
  10. When noodles are cooked turn off burner; do not strain. 
  11. Take out garlic bread from oven and turn off oven.
  12. Turn off the burner that sauce is on.
  13. Use tongs to get a scoop of noodles into the saucepan. Leave in the sauce for a few seconds to allow sticking. Take noodles out of saucepan and put on a plate. Place 4 slices of chicken over bed of noodles and put a spoonful of sauce over the chicken. Cut bread and serve. Repeat serves 4.

Naps

Today was a great day! On Tuesdays I usually have class until 3:30pm but my last three classes were conveniently ALL canceled today. So what did I do with my hours off? I wish I could say that I did something productive...but I took a 5 hour nap! AHH I know that seems crazy; but when you stay up until 2 or 3 every night because of homework or studying, sleep is easily put on the back burner. Your whole life you hear everyone telling you "8 hours a night," but nobody I know in college can really ever fit that into their schedule, its next to impossible. Just sleep when you can, naps are key to staying on track. Not every nap is going to be 5 hours, but at least 20-30 minutes a day is a great refresher! Check out this link if you don't believe me!!

Summer Heights High

"Angry Boys"- Chris Lilley

My boyfriend and I were watching Summer Heights High tonight. I ABSOLUTELY love this show. My whole family, except me because I was in College, lived in Australia for 6 months. When I went over there to visit in 2007 SHH was just debuted on Foxtel over there. It took the show 2 years to come to the U.S. on HBO but I watched it in Aussie on cable! I showed all of my friends it and they all loved it too. We felt slightly "cool" when it came over to the states because we were already wayy ahead of the trend! Anyway, Chris Lilley (the creator of SHH), is coming out with a new series called "Angry Boys" it it supposed to premiere in early 2011. It is another mockumentary based on young boys and the shenanigans that they get into. I wish I knew more about this series but there doesn't seem to be too much information about it online. Anyone else hear anything about when it is coming here or more about the plot! I am ready and waiting for a new genius Lilley creation!!
