A creamy pasta dish that brings a taste of Italian cuisine to your dinner table, perfect for family weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fettuccine (or your choice of pasta)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
  2. Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, add 2 more tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, then stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  4. Combine: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Mix the pasta and chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then add the drained pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese and taste as you go for proper seasoning.
