Does anyone have a good recipe for Chicken Alfredo?

If you would like a from scratch recipe, this one sounds good:

Grill a couple of chicken breasts. Meanwhile, place a jar of your favorite Alfredo on the stove (I use my wok pan), add some dried pepper flakes if desired. Boil a bag of frozen CHEESE tortellini--when nearly done add some broccoli(but you could add carrots or any other firm vegetable your family enjoys), drain and place in Alfredo sauce. Toss with sliced grilled chicken breasts. This is delicious., easy and FAST. If you grill a few extra breasts earlier in the week you can have dinner on the table in 15 minutes.

I have a great copycat recipe for Olive Garden's Chicken Alfredo
Olive Garden Alfredo Fettucine
In large saucepan combine cream cheese, Parmesan, butter and milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Toss pasta lightly with sauce, and sprinkle with chicken coating well. Leftovers freeze well. (09/02/2008)

To make chicken alfredo, I use the following "recipe."
Take 1/2 to 1 pound of boneless chicken, cut into strips and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings. Saute the chicken in a large pan with olive oil or butter along with a couple tablespoons of minced onion and a clove or two of minced garlic. After it is browned, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In pan that you cooked the chicken in, add 1/2 stick butter and a half pint heavy whipping cream. After butter melts, whisk in about 4 ounces of grated parmesan cheese. Using freshly grated cheese will make a smoother sauce than if you use the pre-grated cheese from the dairy aisle. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is thickened, adding more cheese if needed. Season with pepper and (if you like it) a tiny pinch of garlic powder. I also often add a sprinkle of Italian seasonings.
Meanwhile, have pasta cooking so it will finish at about the same time as the sauce. When pasta is done, drain and toss with chicken and sauce. Serve immediately.
To re-heat leftovers, use a saucepan and gently increase heat while stirring. Add a bit of milk if necessary to thin the sauce back out. Re-heating in the microwave may make the butter separate from the sauce and can cause the cheese to clot up.

Chicken Alfredo "cheat":
melted butter, sour cream, garlic, salt, white pepper, parm cheese, all to taste. A little whole milk or cream can thin it out or add richness. Toss in leftover chicken, sauteed veggies, serve over pasta or rice. (09/03/2008)
