One Pot Garlic Chicken Alfredo Recipe
This One Pot Garlic Chicken Alfredo features diced chicken cooked in a creamy sauce made from garlic, flour, chicken broth, milk, cream cheese, and Parmesan. Bowtie pasta cooks directly in the sauce, absorbing its flavors for a rich, creamy texture without needing separate preparation. Fresh parsley garnishes add brightness.
