Recipe For Pasta And Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients:
– 8 oz fettuccine pasta
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 2 tbsp butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
7. Finally, add the sliced chicken back to the skillet, gently folding it into the pasta and sauce mixture.
8. Serve the Pasta and Chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
