Print Recipe

Creamy and flavorful, this Chicken Alfredo Pasta is a comforting classic that’s easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving about half a cup of pasta water.
  2. 2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper before adding them to the pan. Cook each side for about six minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and slice into strips.
  3. 3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet (with residual heat), melt another tablespoon of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring it just to a simmer.
  4. 4. Add Cheese: Slowly stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese while whisking continuously until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. 5. Combine Everything: Add cooked fettuccine back into the skillet along with sliced chicken. Toss gently so every noodle is coated in sauce.
  6. 6. Serve It Up: Transfer to plates or bowls, garnishing with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Keywords: For added flavor, consider incorporating sautéed vegetables like spinach or broccoli. Reserve some pasta water; it’s essential for adjusting sauce consistency.
