This rich and indulgent Creamy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is a perfect comfort meal, combining tender chicken with a velvety, Parmesan-packed sauce. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until warmed through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Return the cooked fettuccine and chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
- Serve: Plate the creamy fettuccine Alfredo and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes:
- For a healthier twist, consider adding vegetables like broccoli or spinach.
- You can substitute fettuccine with any pasta shape you prefer.
