Serving sizes:
Grilled chicken: serves 4
Sweet sausage:  serves 2

Prep Time: 
10 mins ( w/ vodka sauce pre-made)



Grilled Chicken Marinade

Ingredients 
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp adobo seasoning
1 tbs onion powder
1 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs dried parsley 
1 tbs dried oregano 
*** Combine ingredients,  add 2 lbs chicken tenderloins.  Mix well, set aside to marinade for 1 hour before grilling.

Meats:
2 lbs chicken tenderloins
1 lb sweet Italian sausage ( prick w/ fork a few times to release some of fats when grilling)

Method

1.  Grill meats until 3/4 done.  Set adide to cool.  Do not like immediately while hot or all natural juices will be released from meats making for a very dry protein dish. 
2. Slice meats when cool and set aside in two different bowls.
3. Heat vodka sauce slowly on low heat until hot.  Stir frequently to avoid burning or sticking.  
4. Pour hot sauce over meats in separate bowls.  Stir well to make sure meats are well coated.
5. Garnish each bowl with fresh parsley and remaining grated cheese.   
6. *** Optional, if serving with pasta, add cooked pasta to each bowl and incorporate well.

Vodka Sauce
Ingredients:
1/2 cup Unflavored Vodka (good quality: Grey Goose, Absolute, Kettle1)
2 large cans crushed or pureed tomatoes (28 oz each)
1/2 cup water
1 med white onion finely diced
3 large cloves garlic finely diced
1 large dried bay leaf
1 tsp dried oregano 
1 tsp dried red pepper flakes (you control your heat 🔥 )
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
3-5 fresh basil leaves roughly torn
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley for garnish
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese
1-3 tbs olive oil
2-3 tbs unsalted butter 
1-2 cups heavy cream (1 cup dark pink sauce, 2 cups light pink creamy sauce)
Salt to taste (I like kosher)
1/2 - 1/3 lb thick-cut pancetta (or bacon can be used if preferred)
*** To make this sauce vegetarian, simply eliminate the meat portion

Method 
(To make Vodka Sauce )

1.  Heat a large pan or wide pot. Next add pancetta, cook until golden and crispy and fat has been rendered out. 
2. After, add 1 tbs olive oil to pan and add diced onions.  Sauté until translucent.
3. Add chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Now add the vodka carefully and allow alcohol to cook-off.  
5. Add dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, bay leaf to pan, saute for 1 minute.
6. Add the crushed or pureed tomatoes, water and sauté.  Add freshly cracked black pepper.  Cover w/ lid slightly open to allow for venting.  
7. Cook sauce on low flame for 1-1 and 1/2 hrs until sauce thickens.  Keep stirring Every 8-10 mins.
8. Add salt to taste, add torn basil and stir.
9. Add heavy cream, turn off that, stir well.    I like a light pink, creamy sauce so I use 2 cups of heavy cream.  Finish sauce w/ 1-3 tbs butter.  1 cup of heavy cream will make a dark pink sauce, 2 cups a light pink sauce. ( Use half and half if you want to cut some fat or have a less creamy sauce)   
10. Stir in 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese.  
11. Optional, serve with penne or your choice of pasta.  Otherwise to keep this keto-friendly, nix the pasta and enjoy!  Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
