Print Recipe

Indulge in this creamy Chicken Alfredo featuring tender chicken, a rich garlic cream sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta for a warm, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta (or your preferred shape)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and finely chop the garlic.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet used for chicken, reduce heat and add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in heavy cream and stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  5. Combine Everything: Toss the drained pasta into the skillet with the creamy sauce, mixing gently until well coated. Add reserved pasta water gradually if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Serve It Up: Slice chicken into strips and serve on top of the creamy pasta. Drizzle with additional sauce and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese if desired.
