Coupled with the ever so naughty stuffed chicken breast, you can get saucy any time. Paired here with veggie stuffed chicken breasts.
There are times my cautious teens still don’t get it.
They still think things like alfredo sauce are supposed to harbor bizarre ingredients and taste like chemicals. Even when they see the heavy white cream and other ingredients on the counter, they keep asking, “But what else is in it?” What do they want me to say? Magical unicorn farts? It’s alfredo. It’s simple. It should be.
Enjoy this special recipe that became my family’s new favorite this week. Sometimes even the teens have got to just shut up and eat. Now they’re glad they did.
