Description
A creamy, rich dish combining tender chicken with fettuccine pasta, enveloped in a luscious Alfredo sauce made from heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, perfect for dinner or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250g Fettuccine pasta
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Fettuccine: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute or until it becomes fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and slice them into strips.
- Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: Keeping the skillet on medium heat, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and smooth.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing it gently to coat. If the sauce appears too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Serve: Plate the pasta and top it with the sliced chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley for an added touch of freshness.
