bacon-wrapped chicken & broccoli alfredo

Chicken breasts get some bacon lovin’ & roasted in the oven until golden & served with broccoli alfredo sauce. The sauce is so easy –  white wine, cream, green onions, a little nutmeg, garlic & a lot of parmesan. And in no time, dinner is done & you’re serving bacon-wrapped chicken & broccoli alfredo to oohs & aahs from the family. 

Now I know the whole “alfredo” term gets bantered about but it’s almost as simple as cream & lots of parmesan cheese. I like to add a good handful of green onions, a pinch of nutmeg, wine & garlic. Because everything is better with wine & garlic. 

How you serve this is really a matter of personal preference. Family style or single serve, depends who you’re serving & how energetic you’re feeling. 

Just make sure it’s piping hot & you’ve got lots of chilled chardonnay on hand or whatever takes your fancy.

Some roasted sweet potatoes & a simple green salad are perfect to serve with this bacon-wrapped chicken & broccoli alfredo. All that’s left to do is enjoy this low carb creamy delight. And my apologies for being brief & utterly dull today but honestly, I’m exhausted & my head is pounding but I wanted to share this yummy recipe with you…the sacrifices I make.
