Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 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
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the cooked fettuccine pasta and cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo is a classic Italian-American dish that has become a staple in many restaurants and home kitchens. This indulgent pasta dish features tender chicken, al dente fettuccine, and a rich, creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. The origins of this dish can be traced back to Italian immigrants in the United States, who combined traditional Italian flavors with local ingredients to create a comforting and satisfying meal. One of the most famous versions of this dish can be found at the renowned Italian restaurant, Olive Garden. Their Chicken Alfredo is a crowd favorite, known for its velvety sauce and perfectly cooked chicken. The key to a great Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Alfredo lies in the balance of flavors - the creamy sauce should be rich and indulgent, with just the right amount of garlic and Parmesan to elevate the dish without overpowering it. To make this dish at home, it's important to use high-quality Parmesan cheese and fresh garlic to achieve the best flavor.
