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!

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.
