Filed Under Good Tastings Recipes, Using Watkins Products
If you don’t like Fettuccine Alfredo, you more than likely don’t like Italian food. I’m married to an Italian who is a wonderful cook but rarely cooks Italian fare. Thus, when I’m traveling on the road I try to eat Italian food every chance I get.
Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my favorite Italian meals. Hmmm, the sheer thought of any noodle with alfredo sauce on it makes my mouth water. If you’re a Watkin’s associate, I can’t think of a better meal to prepare at your next Good Tastings party event than this beautiful little dish that you can whip up in no time. You’ll have every Mom in the house reaching out for an order pad. Likewise, if you’re a Watkins products consumer wanting to prepare a meal that uses three popular Watkins products you likely have in your kitchen (i.e., Watkins Black Pepper, Watkins Grapeseed Oil and Watkins Garlic Liquid Spice), I promise you this is a recipe made in heaven just for you.

- 2 boneless/skinless chicken breast1

- 1/2 cup/125 mL red pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup/125 mL yellow pepper, chopped

- 2 tsp/10 mL all-purpose flour
- 1 can (12 oz/340 g) evaporated skim milk

- 3/4 to 1 tsp/4 to 5 mL Watkins Garlic Liquid Spice
- 1/4 tsp/2.5 mL Watkins Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp/7.5 mL Watkins Original Grapeseed Oil
Directions
Sauté the two chicken breasts in Watkins brand grapeseed oil for 6 to 8 minutes over medium heat. Next add the yellow and red peppers, green onions and mushrooms. Continue cooking until you confirm the vegetables are tender. Next add the Kalamata olives. During this time be sure you are also cooking your favorite pasta according to the directions on the pasta package. We recommend you choose Fettuccine noodles the first time you’re trying this recipe.
When finished cooking the chicken and vegetables combination, remove them from the skillet and slice up the chicken. In the juices left in the skillet, brown the flour; stir in the Watkins garlic liquid spice and the evaporated milk. Cook, stirring occasionally until everything thickens. Next stir in the Parmesan cheese. Coat the cooked noodles good with the sauce and stir in the vegetables and slices of chicken. Lastly, sprinkle with Watkins brand black pepper.
