Indulge in the rich and creamy delight of Chicken Alfredo, a classic Italian-American pasta dish. Tender chicken is smothered in a velvety Alfredo sauce, perfectly complementing the fettuccine noodles for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (about 225g) fettuccine noodles
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Next, drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a separate large skillet, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Then, add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. After that, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it becomes fragrant.
- Following that, add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
- Next, add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Now, return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Make sure to stir to coat the chicken pieces with the sauce and let it all simmer together for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
- Remember to taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as needed to suit your preference.
- Finally, place the cooked fettuccine noodles on serving plates or in a large serving dish. Drizzle the Alfredo sauce with chicken over the noodles. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- In conclusion, serve the Chicken Alfredo hot, and you can accompany it with a side of garlic bread and a green salad for a complete meal.
Note: Feel free to customize the recipe by adding vegetables like broccoli or peas to the sauce or using different types of pasta according to your taste.
