Pete's Chicken Alfredo:
1-8oz lump of cream cheese
1 small wedge of parmesan cheese (DO NOT use canned grated cheese)
1 pint of heavy cream
3/4 box of fettucine pasta
Garlic powder
1 tablespoon of butter
Salt and pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed.

First, start the sauce. In a sauce pan on medium heat, add the cream, parmesan(grated or cut into small cubes), and cream cheese(cubed for ease of melting). Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure not to scorch the sauce. The idea is to only melt the sauce together. Next, throw the pasta into salted water and allow to cook. Now for the chicken. Place the chicken into a skillet with oil and butter to start the cooking on medium process(teflon is easiest). Toss in about 2 pinches of salt, and 3 pinches of pepper. Apply the garlic powder while cooking. If the pan dries out add a bit more butter or a little more oil. Cook till the chicken is no longer pink on the inside. Taste, and apply any more salt/pepper/garlic powder if necessary. Garnish with a non-pungent green herb.
