Tasty Tuesday ~ Chicken Alfredo

I LOVE alfredo, especially the chicken alfredo from the Olive Garden.  I've tried a few recipes in the past, and none have come close to theirs, but I finally found a really, really good one.  Too bad my hubby doesn't like it so much.  (Actually that is probably good, so I don't make it too often, it's not exactly low fat.)

Ingredients
2 cups uncooked noodles
2 cups cooked cubed chicken (turkey works well also)
2 cups cream
1/2 cup butter
1 clove of garlic
2 Tbsp plain yogurt or cream cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

In a medium saucepan, start water heating to boil your noodles.  In a small saucepan stir together cream, butter, garlic, and yogurt or cream cheese.  Bring to a boil and turn down heat and simmer about 2 minutes.  Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.  Continue to simmer about 15 minutes until it gets thicker.  Meanwhile, add your noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the directions.  Drain noodles and add chicken.  When sauce is done, pour over noodles and stir.  Heat over low until hot.  Try not to eat the whole pan full by yourself.
