Ingredients for Chicken-and-Veggies Mix
- 1 tbsp Amul butter
- 300 gms boneless chicken (cut in cubes)
- 100 gms broccoli (chopped into medium-sized florets)
- 4-5 baby corn (or cornlets on the cob) (sliced in the centre)
- 5-6 button mushrooms (chopped to medium bits, not to small as they tend to shrivel up in the cooking process)
- A palmful Mozarella cheese (grated)
- A palmful Amul "regular" cheese (grated)
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp salt
Method for Chicken-and-Veggies Mix
Heat the butter a tad, don't wait until it completely melts. Add the chopped chicken cubes and sear on high heat for a few seconds.
Sprinkle in the pepper, chilli flakes, mixed herbs and salt. Stir in till well mixed with the cubed chicken. Do so for approx. 5-7 minutes till chicken is cooked.
Add the chopped veggies (that is, chopped mushrooms, broccoli florets, sliced cornlets) and sautee for a further 5-7 minutes. Remove and keep aside to later top over the cooked flat noodles
If preparing the Chicken Fettucine Alfredo dish a day or two ahead, follow these steps: Grease a Borosil or similar toughened glass dish with butter. Fill the dish with the cooked noodles (refer Part 1 of the recipe), then top with the chicken-and-veggies mix. Sprinkle both varieties of grated cheese over the mix. Cover/wrap the dish with cling film and store in the refrigerator for a day or two - this step is optional. On the day of the event/dish preparation, remove the cling film-wrapped Chicken Fettucine Alfredo dish from the refrigerator and bake in an oven for 10-15 minutes at 180-200 degrees. There is no need for pre-heating in the case of this particular dish.
