Description
A creamy and comforting Alfredo pasta elevated with grilled chicken, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta. Boil the fettuccine in salted water according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Sauté garlic. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until it becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Heat chicken. Add the sliced grilled chicken to the skillet and cook until warmed through.
- Create the sauce. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to mix. Bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Incorporate cheese. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and creates a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine pasta and sauce. Toss the drained fettuccine in the sauce until every strand is coated.
- Serve and garnish. Plate the pasta, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
Notes
For a lower-carb option, consider swapping heavy cream for light cream or using zucchini noodles instead of fettuccine.
