One Pot Garlic Chicken Alfredo Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by searing bite-sized chicken pieces in olive oil until fully cooked. Garlic is then sautéed in the leftover oil before flour is added to create a roux. Chicken broth and milk are whisked in gradually, forming a creamy, thickened base seasoned with salt and pepper. Uncooked bowtie pasta is stirred into the sauce and cooked covered until tender, allowing it to soak up the flavorful liquid.
Cream cheese is cut into pieces and stirred in with freshly grated Parmesan, adding extra creaminess and a slight tang to the sauce. The cooked chicken returns to the pan to warm through. The dish is finished with fresh parsley for color and a fresh herbal note. This skillet method yields tender, saucy pasta combined with juicy chicken in one pan.
This meal can be served as a filling main course on its own, suitable for dinner. The creamy, garlicky sauce coats the pasta well, making it hearty and comforting. It does not require additional side dishes but can be paired with a simple salad or steamed vegetables if desired.
