Miranda is a pharmacy technician at Walmart and Avery is employed at United Parcel Service as a driver. In their spare time, the couple shares a love for nights at the softball field where the bride-to-be enjoys watching her future groom play his favorite game.
They also enjoy spending time with their family, especially their nieces and nephews.
Miranda is the daughter of Sabrina Oglesby and Paul Tuttle of Swainsboro. Avery is the son of
Natasha Steptoe of Swainsboro and Brian and Jill Steptoe of Lyons. Here are a few recipes they would like to share. Enjoy!
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients:
• Fettuccine pasta
• Two chicken breasts (slice them in half lengthwise to cook them faster and keep them tender)
• Flour (it helps give the chicken a delicious crust)
• Butter (unsalted)
• Cream cheese (for added texture and tangy taste)
• Heavy cream (rich, delicious, and much less likely to curdle than other options)
• Chicken broth (more flavor!)
• Garlic (I use both fresh cloves and garlic powder in this recipe)
• Parmesan cheese (it's not Alfredo sauce without it)
• Olive oil (for pan-frying the chicken)
Directions:
1. Prep the chicken: sprinkle it with salt & pepper and garlic powder, then coat it in flour.
2. Cook the chicken: pan-fry it in the oil & butter for 5 minutes/side or until it's cooked through.
3. Make the sauce: use the same skillet you cooked the chicken in. Add the remaining butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, chicken broth and garlic. Stir to incorporate the cream cheese then let it thicken for 5 minutes or so. You then stir in the parmesan.
4. Finish it up: drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce. Top with the sliced chicken.
