Recipe type: Main Dish
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cups shredded or chopped cooked chicken
- 4 tsp. mesquite seasoning (see below)
- 12 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups chicken stock (homemade if possible)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 lb. fettuccini pasta
- 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- In a large stock pot, add olive oil and heat over medium-high.
- Add garlic and stir while cooking for 1 minute.
- Throw in the chicken, seasoning, stock, and milk. Break the fettuccini in half and add it to the pot as well. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, stirring every few minutes. (Watch carefully so it doesn't boil over.)
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer pasta (covered) for 8-13 minutes. Stir every few minutes so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
- Continue cooking until there is ½ inch of liquid in the bottom of the stock pot.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
