Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

Got this recipe from my neighbor Kate Meiners.

1 lb chicken

8 oz cream cheese

3/4 cup parmesan cheese

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

fettuccini noodles

salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste

vegetables: broccoli, carrots, peas, etc

Cut up chicken into bite size pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat on stove top. Set on paper towel to drain oil. Start water boiling for fettuccini and cook pasta with tsp of salt. Drain pasta. Melt butter in a medium pan on low heat. Add cream cheese and milk. Stir together. Add parmesan cheese. Keep stirring until smooth consistency. If it is too thick add a little more milk. Add pasta, chicken, and any vegetables you would like. Frozen peas and carrots or fresh broccoli go great. Check seasonings and add any salt or pepper as needed. I also add nutmeg and garlic powder. Cook until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

* you can also use leftover cooked chicken, which makes this even faster
