Ingredients:
8 oz (about 225g) fettuccine pasta
2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, sliced into strips or cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
A pinch of salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta
Begin by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the chicken
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Create the Alfredo sauce
Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute in the same skillet until fragrant.
Then, lower the heat to medium, then add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and butter. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
4. Bring it all together
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, letting it simmer for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Toss the cooked fettuccine pasta into the skillet, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the Alfredo sauce.
5. Garnish and serve
Garnish your Chicken Alfredo Pasta with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
