Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta is a comforting dish featuring tender chicken, rich garlic sauce, and perfectly cooked fettuccine—ideal for cozy dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • Salt for boiling water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. 1. Gather all ingredients. Finely chop the garlic and measure out the cream and cheese.
  2. 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear each side until golden brown, about 6 minutes per side, ensuring they are cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.
  3. 3. While chicken cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, reserving about half a cup of pasta water before draining.
  4. 4. In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  5. 5. Pour in heavy cream while stirring continuously.
  6. 6. Lower heat and add cooked fettuccine into the skillet along with grated parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined. If the sauce is too thick, gradually incorporate reserved pasta water until you reach desired creaminess.
  7. 7. Slice cooked chicken into strips and place over servings of pasta. Garnish with extra parmesan or chopped parsley if desired.
