Killer's Fettuccine Alfredo with Grilled Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into strips and set aside.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the garlic powder and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 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 loosen it up.
- Add the grilled chicken strips to the fettuccine alfredo and gently toss to combine.
- Divide the fettuccine alfredo with grilled chicken among serving plates, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
Killer's Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken has a rich history rooted in Italian-American cuisine. This classic dish is believed to have originated in Rome, where a man named Alfredo di Lelio created the original recipe in the early 20th century. The dish gained popularity when di Lelio opened his own restaurant, Alfredo alla Scrofa, and served his signature fettuccine al burro to Hollywood celebrities. Over time, the dish evolved to include grilled chicken, adding a smoky flavor to the creamy, cheesy sauce. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in Italian-American restaurants across the United States, where chefs take pride in perfecting the balance of rich Alfredo sauce and tender grilled chicken. To make this dish at home, it's crucial to use high-quality Parmesan cheese and fresh fettuccine pasta for an authentic taste. Alternatively, some chefs add a touch of garlic or nutmeg to elevate the flavors of the dish. Whether enjoyed in a cozy Italian trattoria or made from scratch in your own kitchen, Killer's Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken is a timeless indulgence that continues to delight food lovers around the world.
