Ingredients
- 8 ounces Fettuccine pasta uncooked
- 2 chicken breast cut into bite-size pieces
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- flour for dredging
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 garlic minced, large cloves
- 2 Italian seasoning dashes
- 1 cup heavy cream aka whipping cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- parsley chopped, to taste, fresh
Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta, and cook according to package directions.
- Prep your chicken and sprinkle it with salt & pepper. Dredge each piece in the flour.
- Add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter is melted and hot, add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken from pan.
- Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Italian seasoning to the pan. Give it a good stir.
- Add the cream and parmesan cheese to the pan. Let it bubble for a minute or so.
- Add the chicken back into the pan and let it simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken has cooked and the sauce has further reduced. You may need to turn the heat down if it's bubbling furiously.
- Give the sauce a taste, and if it doesn't have enough lemon juice, add a bit more in. Season with salt & pepper as needed and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
- Drain pasta and toss with the chicken Alfredo sauce (add in some pasta water prior to draining the pasta if the sauce needs to be thinned a bit).
Notes
- I don't recommend using half-and-half or milk instead of the heavy cream; the lemon juice is likely to break the sauce.
