Chicken Alfredo on Pita Bread

Hello all my fellow chefs!!! I have been so busy with life lately that I have not been able to post anything! So HERE I GO!

One night, I was struggling to find anything in my fridge or pantry that sounded good for dinner. I came across chicken, heavy cream, and pita bread! So I was inspired to make a very common, clean-out-your-pantry kind of meal :) 

LETS GET STARTED FRIENDS!!

Ingredients:
For meat:
2 Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breasts
Salt 
Pepper

For Alfredo Sauce:
2 tablespoons of Organic Butter
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1 teaspoon of flour
2 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
1/4 cup of Mozzarella Cheese
1 Teaspoon of Red Pepper Flakes

(Has anyone else noticed that I am IN LOVE with using Red Pepper Flakes!!??) 


Directions:
FIRST: Take your two chicken breasts and cube the meat into about 1 inch cubes. Once that is complete add some salt and pepper just to bring out the natural flavors of the meat :)

NEXT: Place about a tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom of your pan so the chicken doesn't stick. Once the oil is heated up you can throw your chicken in and let it cook.

While your chicken is cooking, grab all the ingredients needed for your VERY SIMPLE Alfredo sauce.

In a small saucepan, add the butter and let it melt on medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and let it cook for about a minute. Do not let your garlic burn, it will taste disgusting, so make sure you are stirring the garlic around in the butter. 


Once the garlic has had time to cook down, add your heavy cream and whisk together for about 10 minutes. 


Add your flour (this is used as a thickening agent!) and your mozzarella. Once you add the cheese, you HAVE TO CONTINUALLY STIR THE SAUCE. Do not let the cheese melt to the bottom of the pan, it will burn and leave a lot of the flavor behind!! 


Once the sauce has thickened, go ahead and pull it off the heat. 

And your ready to serve!!! 


As soon as I took this picture I realized that it didn't have enough toppings! So what i suggest is getting a little crunch and color in the mix!! I would add some kind of peanut, and tomato! These little touches will send the recipe over the edge! But of course, this was a clean out the pantry kind of meal :) 

I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS MY FAMILY DID!! AND AS ALWAYS....


MUCH LOVE AND HAPPY COOKING!!! :)
