Ingredients:
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the pasta: Cook the fettuccine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
- Combine everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Divide the Chicken Alfredo Pasta among serving plates. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
