Hometown favorites

So since I've been home for break I've been able to take part of some great local favorites. I started my break by traveling to Syracuse to pick my dad up from the airport which in my family always means dinner and shopping before we go to the airport! We ate dinner at Chili's, love their chips and salsa! Then went shopping at Plato's Closet and Marshall's. First time going there and I consider it a success! Came home with pink cowboy boots that were only $40! My boyfriend called me Ted from How I Met Your Mother but that's ok lol. Yesterday my family went to my favorite local Italian restaurant. Fried calamari and salad are a given with hot bread right out if the oven. I ordered stuffed chicken Alfredo, so delicious! I'm including a photo of half-eaten (sorry!) dinner. This dish is super easy to make at home so I'm including the recipe for how I make it below. Enjoy!

Stuffed Chicken Alfredo
1 stuffed chicken breast (I buy the broccoli and cheese stuffed ones for just $.99 each at Aldi's)
1 cup pasta uncooked (its pictured with tortellini, I typically make with like ziti or rigatoni)
1/8 C jarred Alfredo sauce

Cook the chicken according to the package (the ones I buy usually just have to bake for 40 mins)
When you're about 20 mins into cooking your chicken boil pasta water, add pasta when boiling. Cook through then warm Alfredo sauce. When its warm to your liking combine with drained pasta and put chicken on top. Enjoy!
