Chicken Alfredo Recipe (For Beginners/College Students)

Uncooked tortillas from this recipe! Chicken Alfredo is not the only thing that I have learned how to make. Someone taught me how to make that Alfredo step by step, but this new recipe is something I learned to make by watching a video on TikTok actually. Very different yet tastes amazing: buttery flour tortillas. A complete switch-up, but I absolutely love this recipe. It only takes about 30 minutes to make and has very little ingredients. I learned this recipe when I was a sophomore in high school, and I had my parents try it (spoiler: they liked it a lot). This really gave me confidence in cooking, and this recipe especially tested my kneading and rolling skills. I also love baking, so I really love making things from scratch. Ironically, I am a good baker, despite my cooking disparities.  My beautiful mixing bowl and sifter The first step to making these tortillas is to mix 3 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. It helps that the portions of ea...

The easiest thing to substitute in Alfredo is the noodles. Normal pasta noodles are made with a refined white flour, which takes away those healthy fibers and grains. Also, those types of pastas pack a lot of calories, ranging from about 200-230 calories per cup. This makes it difficult to have a good sized meal with a smaller amount of calories, especially for those who are wanting to eat healthier without having to cut their portion sizes way down.  Picture By Healthy Fitness Meals Vegetables are the best substitute for pasta.  Using a spiral cutter, or cutting your vegetables into a spiral, you can use those as your noodles. Zucchini is the most popular vegetable that is used for noodles, and they contain a lot of vitamin A and C, both antioxidants , which help to prevent unstable atoms from mutating into cancer in your body. Another good vegetable option is squash, also containing a lot of vitamin C. Called spaghetti squash, if you bake the inside of it, scraping out ...

The Things You Need The equipment and other utensils I used to make this Alfredo are not set-in-stone, but I recommend using them. The most important thing I think you should use is a flat pan for the sauce itself. This Alfredo sauce needs to be cooked all the way through in order for it to become thicker and more sauce-like rather than a watery liquid. A flat pan allows for the same amount of heavy whipping cream you would put in a pot, but, because of how thin in height the heavy whipping cream is in the pan, heat can easily reach all of the heavy whipping cream. In a pot, only the edges of the heavy whipping cream would receive heat, and, to fully cook it, would take much more time to have heat reach the middle. Below is a good example of a pan I would use to cook the sauce in. Photo By Serious Eats The second most important utensil I think you should use is a spatula for stirring the Alfredo sauce. The flat edge really helps to be able to stir the bottom of the pan. Doing this wi...
