Chicken Alfredo Recipe
Description
This dish starts with chicken breasts seasoned and cooked in olive oil until fully cooked and rested to retain juices. The alfredo sauce mixes milk, chicken broth, and garlic in the skillet, then dry fettuccine is added directly to the sauce, cooking slowly and absorbing flavors. Heavy cream and Parmesan cheese finish the sauce, thickening it to a creamy consistency that envelops the noodles.
Once the sauce has thickened, sliced chicken is stirred in or served on top, allowing the meat and pasta to complement each other. Freshly grated Parmesan and optional parsley garnish add flavor and color contrast.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
- 2 chicken breast skinless, boneless

- 8-12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
