Description
A creamy and rich Chicken Alfredo dish featuring tender chicken and fettuccine pasta, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Boil salted water in a large pot and cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
- Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about a minute. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for a couple of minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
- Toss the drained pasta in the sauce until coated. Add sliced chicken on top and garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, use room temperature cream and avoid pre-grated cheese for better melting.
