Ingredients

1 pkg Alfredo Sauce Mix

1 1/2 cups milk (your choice)

1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets

3/4 lb (340 g) uncooked fettuccine

1 tbsp oil

Salt and pepper (to taste)

1 lime

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, whisk sauce mix with milk. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot set over high heat, boil pasta until tender, about 8–10 min.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 8 min.
  4. Add reserved seasoning mixture. Reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 2 min. Turn off heat.
  5. Using a microplane or small holes on a box grater, zest lime.
  6. Drain cooked pasta and add to pan. Add lime zest.
  7. Slice lime in half and squeeze in juice from 1/2 lime. Using tongs, toss to combine. Taste, adding juice from remaining 1/2 lime, if desired.
