This is a super DELICIOUS meal that stems from northern Italy. While the red gravy (marinara sauce) originally came from southern Italy, the white sauces, like Alfredo, stem from the north. Ingredients:

1/2 cup flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
4 garlic cloves (minced) |

2 -4 slices mozzarella cheese (1 slice per chicken breast) |
8 tablespoons butter |
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream |
3/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated) |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic |
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded) |
