Smoked Chicken with Spicy Vodka Cream Sauce
This dish was created when I was trying to figure out some other use for a really spicy vodka we like--Inferno Vodka. It is also very good in Bloody Marys!
- 8 ounce fresh fettuccine
- 8 ounce smoked chicken, cooked
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Inferno vodka
- 1/4 cup hot pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 8 ounce light cream
- 1/4 cup chicken stock
- Place half and half, salt, vodka, stock and lemon juice in large skillet. Bring to a slow boil, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened (add pepper flakes and cooked chicken during the last 2 minutes of cooking). While sauce is simmering, in a large pot, bring water to a boil to cook the pasta. Drain pasta well.
- Add the parmesan cheese to the simmering sauce, stir and season with freshly ground pepper. Serve over the pasta.
