Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast about 1 pound, see note 1, boneless, skinless
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups milk whole
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces Fettuccine pasta see note 2
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese about 4 ounces, freshly grated
- parsley minced, for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add chicken and cook, without moving, until browned on one side, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and continue to cook until browned on the other side, about 2 to 3 minutes longer. Reduce heat, add 2 tablespoons water to the skillet, and cover.
- Cook until the chicken registers 165 degrees on an internal thermometer, about 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from pan and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly.
- Meanwhile, add milk, broth, and garlic to skillet and bring to simmer. Add fettuccine and stir frequently for 3 minutes. Cook until al dente, about 9 minutes longer.
- Stir in heavy cream and parmesan until smooth. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and stir in sliced chicken. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Chicken breast: If your chicken breasts are extremely thick, slice them in half lengthwise to ensure the chicken is cooked through in the allotted time.
- Fettuccine: Or substitute another dry long pasta such as linguine or spaghetti.
- Yield: This recipe makes 4 servings of Chicken Alfredo.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: The chicken can be cooked and sliced 1 day in advance.
- Leftover protein: Instead of cooking chicken breast, add chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken or turkey.
- Mix up your mix-ins: When you stir in the pasta, try adding blanched broccoli florets, cooked bacon, sliced mushrooms, raw shrimp, a handful of fresh spinach, or some chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Cajun Chicken Alfredo: If you like a little extra spice in what you eat, sprinkle some cajun seasoning into the cream and let the spices simmer.
