This comforting dish features tender chicken, rich Alfredo sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta, making it a perfect meal for any occasion. Let’s dive into the creamy and delicious flavors of Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 12 oz (340g) fettuccine or your favorite pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Chicken:

    • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
    • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
    • Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

  2. Cooking the Pasta:

    • Cook the fettuccine or your chosen pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
    • Drain the pasta and set it aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

  3. Preparing the Alfredo Sauce:

    • In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Gradually add the grated Parmesan and Romano cheese (if using), stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
    • Season with ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.

  4. Combining the Pasta and Chicken:

    • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
    • If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
    • Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.

  5. Serving the Chicken Alfredo Pasta:

    • Serve the Chicken Alfredo Pasta hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
    • Enjoy this creamy and comforting dish with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad.
