A creamy and delicious Chicken Alfredo Pasta recipe perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Pasta (fettuccine or penne recommended)
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic (freshly minced)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)
  • Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add bite-sized pieces of chicken breast, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, letting it simmer gently.
  4. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts completely into the cream. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
  5. Return the cooked pasta and chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the cream sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Alfredo Pasta!

Notes

Make sure to use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor and texture.
