chicken breast(s)
noodles (or for VEGGIE NOODLES: use yellow summer squash/zucchini put through a shredding mandolin slicer or spiralizer)1 pkg. neufchatel/cream cheese
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tsp. garlic powder (or 1-2 grated cloves of garlic)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
salt and pepper
Italian seasoning
DIRECTIONS:
Season chicken with the Italian seasoning. Cook chicken (we always throw it on the BBQ) and let sit for a few minutes to allow juices to redistribute. While chicken is cooking, cook noodles (or steam the shredded veggies). In another small saucepan, drop in the package of cream cheese and the stick of margarine on low heat; let them melt and mix them until almost smooth. Add milk and garlic. Finally, add in the Parmesan cheese. Serve as soon as the parm melts!
-You can add sautéed mushrooms or other veggies instead of the chicken, if desired. I usually do both because, well, it's delicious.
