I tried something tonight because I was craving Olive Garden's Fettucine Alfredo REALLY bad

I found a recipe for Alfredo sauce at AllRecipes.com

Cook chicken breast in oil(I used canola)

While that is cooking I made the alfredo sauce
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic-crushed
1 and 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese( I used Kraft in the jar)
1/4 cup fresh parsley ( I used dried)

Melt butter then add credam and simmer for 5 minutes
Add garlic cheese and parsley and simmer a few more minutes.

Cook broccoli( I used frozen) in microwave

I cut up the chciken into bite size chunks and mixed with cooked broccoli and spooned the alfedo sauce over it

Totally YUMMY -I did not even need the fettucine to make it good-

Sorry I did not get the carbs on this yet -I can post it when I get it done!!

Ok-I have the carb count for each thing but someone correct me if I am wrong-I got the totals off of FitDay and sometimes I am not sure I use it right

Chicken-0 g
Broccoli 1 cup-5g
butter- 0 g
parsley- 1 g
Cream- 7 g
garlic -1 g
cheese-6 g
oil- 0 g


Total- 20 g for whole thing but serves 4 so 5 g each
Does that sound right to anyone else???
