A classic recipe for Chicken Alfredo Pasta that combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, for seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
  5. Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet with the sauce. Add the drained pasta and toss everything together until well combined.
  6. Plate the Chicken Alfredo Pasta and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your warm, delicious meal!

Notes

Don’t overcook the chicken and use high-quality cheese for the best flavor. Reserved pasta water can be used to adjust the sauce’s consistency.
