Intro:
Indulge in creamy, comforting Chicken Alfredo Pasta — a classic Italian-American dish featuring tender chicken breast slices tossed in a rich, cheesy Alfredo sauce with fettuccine noodles. Perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion!
📋 Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season chicken slices with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet.
Cook for 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter.
Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Combine Pasta and Chicken
Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken slices back to the skillet.
Toss to coat everything evenly with the Alfredo sauce.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
✅ Tips for Creamy Chicken Alfredo:
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
- Avoid boiling the sauce once the cheese is added to prevent curdling.
- Add steamed broccoli or mushrooms for extra veggies.
