Grilled Chicken Alfredo
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out.
- Divide the pasta onto serving plates and top with the grilled chicken strips. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
The history of Chicken Alfredo dates back to early 20th century Italy, where it was first created by Roman chef Alfredo di Lelio. The dish gained popularity in the United States in the 1970s and has since become a classic Italian-American favorite. The grilled chicken version of Chicken Alfredo offers a healthier twist on the traditional breaded chicken, with a smoky flavor that complements the creamy Alfredo sauce. Chefs in regions like Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna have perfected the art of grilling chicken for this dish, infusing it with herbs and spices for a tantalizing taste. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Italian restaurants that prioritize using high-quality ingredients and traditional cooking methods. To make the perfect grilled chicken Alfredo, it's crucial to marinate the chicken in a blend of olive oil, garlic, and Italian herbs before grilling to infuse it with flavor. This alternative method adds a delightful charred essence to the dish, elevating its overall appeal.
