Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
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 small bowl, mix together 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Season the chicken pieces with the spice mixture.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the cooked fettuccine pasta and cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil.
- Serve the spicy chicken alfredo hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
