Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Serve this easy Alfredo sauce made with evaporated milk, garlic, cooked chicken, mushrooms, and parmesan cheese over your favorite pasta.

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 can (8 ounce size) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
cooked pasta of choice
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
While stirring, slowly add the chicken bouillon granules and evaporated milk. Stir until smooth.
Add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Stir the chicken and mushrooms into the sauce. Cook until heated through, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the cheese and let cook just until the cheese has melted.
Serve immediately over cooked pasta.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

I used fresh mushrooms that I sauteed in butter and then simmered in sherry until evaporated (super flavorful!). The sauce was the right thickness. Tasted good.

I always bought store bought alfredo sauce so this was my first homemade alfredo sauce this recipe was awesome. I had a lot of evaporated milk so wanted to have an alfredo sauce that uses this. I did change the recipe a bit. I added the crushed garlic to the butter in the first step. I also added about 1/2 a cup of mozzerella cheese.
