Teriyaki Chicken Alfredo is one of my favorite go to dishes. Not only is it quick and easy, it tastes delicious. Chicken breasts are cut into pieces and then sprinkled with garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, salt and pepper. You mix in 4 cups of your favorite veggies - I like to use red pepper, broccoli, and mushrooms.
When everything is cooked, you make the Alfredo sauce which consists of butter, heavy cream and Teriyaki Sauce. Everything is tossed together and is ready serve. You have a wonderful dinner that is loaded with veggies and flavor. Give it a try, it maybe come one of your favorite dishes.
Teriyaki Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients:
1/2 pound fettuccini noodles (1/2 standard box)
2 tablespoons oil of choice, divided
4 cups assorted chopped veggies (bell pepper, zucchini, squash, broccoli, mushrooms, etc.)
For the Chicken
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dry ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Additional Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup good teriyaki sauce
kosher salt and pepper to taste
Cook pasta in salted water according to package instructions.
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, tilting to cover bottom of pan, and then add vegetables. Note: If you have veggies that take longer to cook, bell peppers for example, put them in first and saute for a few minutes to soften before adding the more tender veggies so they are all done at the same time) Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and cook until tender-crisp, or however you’d like them (I like mine a little softer!) about 5-10 minutes. Remove veggies and cover to keep warm.
While veggies are cooking, sprinkle chopped chicken with garlic, onion, ginger, pepper and salt. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to skillet, tilt to cover bottom of pan, and then add chicken and cook until done.
Push chicken to one side of pan and add butter to open side of pan to melt. Add cream and teriyaki sauce. whisk together and then use a rubber spatula to stir it around with the chicken. Bring it to a low simmer and cook for about 2 minutes. It thickens slightly as it cooks.
Serves 4-6
