Description
A delightful dish combining tender chicken with creamy Alfredo sauce and fettuccine, infused with herbs for a unique flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta, cooked and drained
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme or parsley
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let it rest, then slice into strips.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Stir in dried thyme or parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the Alfredo sauce.
- Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Serve with garlic bread or a fresh green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
