Fettucini Alfredo- from scratch

This recipe is really easy and quick. Make sure not to overcook the sauce and stir constantly.

8 oz. cream cheese
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (in the bag)
1/2 cup butter (stick)
1/2 cup milk
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
bunch of broccoli
1 box fettucini noodles

Slice chicken breast, cover with water (or chicken broth) and boil for 45 minutes until tender. Remove from water and cut into chunks. Cook noodles as directed on box/bag, drain and rinse. Cook broccoli in water until tender, drain.

Sauce:
Cream together all other ingredients in big saucepan, over low heat, sitrring constantly. (Do not bring to a boil---it will curdle).

Add cooked chicken and broccoli . Serve over noodles.

* You may want to double the sauce recipe for more than 3 people. When I make it for four, we double it.

Serve with french bread and a salad!
