Chicken and Mushrooms Alfredo with Linguini

Chicken (or shrimp) and mushrooms are combined in a sauce made with whipping cream and parmesan cheese, served over linguini.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 to 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 lb fresh mushrooms
• 1 to 2 tsp garlic salt, or to taste
• Juice of 1 fresh lemon
• 1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream
• 2-4 oz grated Parmesan cheese
• Linguini pasta

Directions:

Melt butter in large frying pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Saute chicken until no longer pink. Add mushrooms; cook quickly. Stir in garlic salt and lemon juice. Pour in whipping cream and Parmesan. Bring to a boil, whisking briskly until sauce thickens. Serve over cooked linguini.

Number of Servings: 6-8 servings

Notes from the Cook: You may add more Parmesan if a thicker sauce is desired. And you may also substitute shrimp for the chicken.
