Chicken alfredo is a classic pasta dish that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. This version features tender chicken, perfectly cooked pasta, and a creamy sauce that clings to every strand without being heavy.

Ingredients for Chicken Alfredo

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 12 ounces fettuccine pasta

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

• Salt and black pepper to taste

How to Make Chicken Alfredo

Cook the pasta according to package directions and reserve a small amount of pasta water. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook in a skillet until golden and cooked through. Remove and slice.

In the same pan, melt butter and add garlic. Cook briefly, then pour in the heavy cream. Let it simmer gently before stirring in parmesan cheese.

Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce, tossing until everything is well coated. Use reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

Serving Ideas

Finish with extra parmesan and cracked black pepper. Garlic bread or steamed broccoli make great sides.
