Pasta Alfredo With Wine-Poached Chicken image

Cooking for two sometimes poses problems with sauce mixes, so I combined two recipes into one to use the extra sauce. The chicken can be used straight from the freezer.

Time 45m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces small white mushrooms, quartered
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry wine
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 ounces wide egg noodles
7 ounces alfredo sauce mix (Knorr is good)
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
salt
parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • In a 10-inch frying pan, combine mushrooms, broth, wine, white pepper and tarragon.
  • Add chicken, cover and bring to the boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until meat in the thickest part is no longer pink (20 minutes)
  • Cut to test.
  • While chicken is cooking, cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Drain, add 1 tablespoon butter to keep it from sticking together; set aside.
  • Prepare sauce according to package directions and add to noodles.
  • Add chicken and enough of the wine mixture to thin down a little and add flavor.
  • Add salt to taste and sprinkle with parsley, if desired.
  • Serve with lettuce wedge and dressing.
