Description
A classic dish featuring tender chicken, rich cream, and savory cheese for a satisfying meal that’s perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine: Begin by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- Cook the chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until the pieces are golden brown and no longer pink in the center. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
- Add garlic: After cooking the chicken, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Make the sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Bring the cream to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta in the creamy sauce until it is well coated.
- Serve and garnish: Plate the creamy chicken Alfredo immediately and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
Best served hot. Pair it with a simple side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
