Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional substitutions:

  • Use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free version.
  • For a dairy-free option, swap heavy cream with coconut cream and Parmesan cheese with a plant-based alternative.

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Season and Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.

Step 3: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any flavorful browned bits from the skillet. Add the heavy cream and allow it to gently simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Combine Pasta and Chicken

Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic and Parmesan cheese can significantly elevate the flavor of your sauce.
  • Adjust the Thickness: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
  • Chicken Substitutes: For variation, you can substitute the chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier option.
