INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 cups milk
• 6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long. Toss with hot pasta to serve.

Smothered BBQ Chicken

• 4-5 Chicken Breast Halves
• 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
• 6 Slices cooked Bacon, cut in half
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
• 1/2 cup tomatoes, chives, or olives (optional)

Grill the chicken breasts until tender but not pink, (I use my Forman) about 6 minutes on each side on medium heat. Prepare bacon and set aside. Place chicken breast halves onto a cookie sheet and use a spoon to spread on BBQ Sauce on top of the chicken breast halves. Place 2 pieces of bacon on top of the breasts and use about 1/3 cup of shredded cheese to smother each one. Put in oven until cheese melts. You may add the sour cream, tomatoes, chives, or olives to you liking.
