Rosey Chicken Spaghetti Alfredo

As dinner time neared this evening I realized I didn't have a clue what we were going to eat (happens a lot these days being preoccupied by an 8 month old lol). Looked in the fridge hoping to find leftovers to heat up, but alas I was left staring at practically nothing. Decided to defrost a couple chicken breasts and scavenge the cabinets for what I could cobble into a meal. This didn't turn out too bad, in fact we thought it was pretty darn good. I call it "rosey" because the tomatoes gave the sauce a lovely pink color. Lol.
Btw, I literally just eye-balled all the seasonings I sprinkled on the chicken so use your own discretion to taste.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut chicken to 1/4" thick slices. Melt 1 tbs butter in a deep sided sautée pan over medium high heat. While making the sauce cook pasta to package directions, drain and set aside if done before sauce (reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water in case the sauce seems too thick at the end).
- 2
Add chicken to pan, season with any of the seasonings listed that you'd like (I used 1-2 dashes of everything). Cook chicken completely, stirring frequently. About 7 minutes. When done transfer to a small bowl. Set aside.
- 3
Melt second tbs of butter in pan. Add onion. Cook 2 minutes. Add can of tomatoes. Cook until juices have reduced and thickened, stirring frequently. About 2 minutes.
- 4
Stir flour into onion and tomato (it will turn pastey, that's ok). Cook about 1 minute. Wisk in milk and Alfredo sauce. Bring sauce to a simmer, cook until thickens slightly, wisking frequently. About 5-7 minutes.
- 5
Return chicken to sauce. Stir to incorporate and reheat for a minute or so. Turn off heat. Add pasta to sauce and toss or stir gently to coat.
- 6
Note: If sauce seems too thick for your liking stir in some reserved pasta water a couple tbs at a time. If too thin, let dish sit for a few minutes, it will thicken some.
- 7
Serve with a crisp side salad and/or garlic bread. Garnish with grated parmesan and/or chopped parsley. Enjoy!
