Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken*

I have cooked this one a few times and we have LOVED it each time (although paying attention to how much pepper you put in MIGHT make it better! I over did the pepper by accident LOL).  This is from the health recipe website I have been using lately. They have yet to let me down. AND... I remembered to take pictures this time!! Enjoy!!
Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken (1 c)

SUBMITTED BY: MOPSMOM3
30 Minutes to Prepare and Cook
Ingredients
16 oz fettuccine

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

10 fresh sliced mushrooms (optional)

4 Tbsp butter, divided 

2 Tbsp flour 

1 tsp dried parsley 

1/2 tsp onion powder (I used garlic power since I am allergic to onions)

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2 tsp pepper 

2 cups 2% milk 

1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Prepare fettuccine according to directions; toss with 2 Tbsp butter. 

Meanwhile, melt remaining butter (2 Tbsp) in large saute pan. Add chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces (10 fresh, sliced mushrooms are a nice addition, too--not included in this calorie count). Cookapproximately 10 minutes or until chicken is done. 

Stir in flour, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add milk; stir continuously while bringing it to a boil until mixture thickens slightly. Add fettuccine and Parmesan cheese, tossing to coat.

Serve immediately. Makes approximately 10 (1 c) servings. Excellent with sides of salad, corn, and French bread!

As you can tell I did not use the right noodles but this is what I had and it turned out just right!!

Sweet and Sour Chicken*

Wow this one had great taste! Easy to fix and healthy!! I used about half of the soy sauce that the recipe calls for because I was afraid that it would be too salty and it was GREAT! Hubby thinks it needs a little more sauce on it but I LOVED it the way it was! One of these times I will remember to take pictures as I go! LOL
