Mock Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Using Whole Wheat Linguine Recipes

Steps:

• Leave tofu in original package and place in freezer for 72 hours.
• Bring a pot of water to a simmer. Place package of tofu in water and allow to thaw, approximately 10 minutes. When thawed, remove from package, place in a piece of cheesecloth, and squeeze out liquid. Shred, dice, or slice tofu and include in your favorite recipe.

Steps:

• Create the marinade by combining mochiko, cornstarch, sugar, soy sauce, eggs and green onions in a medium bowl. Make sure everything is blended. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces like nuggets, getting them as close to uniform in size as possible so they'll cook evenly when deep-frying.
• Add chicken to the marinade and use your hands to massage the chicken pieces and make sure they're all coated by the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Bring oil to 350 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven.
• Fry chicken in batches until crispy, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, if using, and serve.

Steps:

• Cook pasta as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, heat large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 5 to 7 min. or until chicken is done, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet. Mix broth and flour in same skillet. Stir in Neufchatel, 2 Tbsp. Parmesan, garlic powder and pepper; cook 2 min. or until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly with whisk. Stir in chicken.
• Drain pasta; place in large bowl. Add chicken mixture; toss to coat. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onion in oil. When softened add in chicken. Cook until no longer pink.
• While you are cooking the chicken, you should be boiling your water for the pasta. Try to time it when they are done about the same time.
• Remove chicken from pan with slotted spoon and set aside. Keep warm.
• Turn the heat down as to not burn the butter. Add butter to skillet. Let it melt, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the wine or broth.
• Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted.
• Return chicken and the pasta to the "sauce", and toss.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
