Description
A rich and creamy pasta dish featuring tender chicken and a luscious Alfredo sauce, perfect for family dinners and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain it and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until it is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir gently, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until it melts and blends into the sauce.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked fettuccine and chicken slices to the skillet. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta and chicken with the creamy sauce.
- Once everything is well mixed and heated through, it’s time to serve. Dish out the creamy chicken fettuccine Alfredo onto plates and garnish each serving with chopped parsley.
Notes
Serve with garlic bread and a simple green salad for a complete meal.
