Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the heavy cream and butter to the skillet, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is simmering.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine and cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the Alfredo sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and extra grated parmesan cheese before serving.

Chicken Alfredo is a classic Italian-American dish that has become a staple in many restaurants and home kitchens. The history of Chicken Alfredo can be traced back to the early 20th century, when Italian chef Alfredo di Lelio created the dish for his pregnant wife who was experiencing morning sickness.
