Friends rave every time I make this dish. It's a comfort food recipe, and I especially enjoy making it on cold or rainy days. I often use a whole chicken cut into pieces and skinned. You can make the store-bought chicken stock taste more like homemade by adding some fresh herbs and parsley and simmering until it's reduced by half.
Rich Alfredo may seem complicated to make, but it's a snap when you know this shortcut. A creamy cheese sauce tops chicken, fettuccine and fresh broccoli in 20 minutes flat.
This is a very basic, but exceedingly delicious, version of the much-beloved side dish. Serve it to people you love. If they don't already love you back, they will.
You can't go wrong with nachos. This twist on tradition manages to include crisp bacon and still be smarter than the original-with juicy chicken, brown rice and ripe tomatoes.
