Description

This simple Chicken Alfredo recipe contains juicy chicken, a rich, creamy homemade Alfredo sauce, and well-cooked pasta. This classic Italian-tasting meal is easy to make and perfect for a night in!

Ingredients
    For the Noodles
  • 16 ounces Dry Fettuccine Pasta
    • For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
    • For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Butter (Cut into Large Cubes or Slices)
  • 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Clove Garlic (Minced)
  • 3/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 2 cups Parmesan Cheese (Freshly Grated)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Make the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions, usually 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain well. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Make the chicken: Season chicken breasts with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. 3
    Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Once it’s shimmering, swirl the pan to evenly distribute. Add the chicken and leave it undisturbed for 5–7 minutes, until the bottom is golden-brown. Flip over and add in 1 tablespoon of butter between them, gently swirling the pan to distribute it. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes (or until an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F).
  4. 4
    Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 3 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Tent with foil while you prepare the sauce.
  5. 5
    Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same pan, over medium-low heat, add the butter and cream; whisk until the butter has melted.
  6. 6
    Add in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; whisk until combined and smooth.
  7. 7
    Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken.
  8. 8
    Stir in the parmesan cheese just until melted and the sauce is smooth. (If the sauce ends up too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, to thin it out.)
  9. 9
    Assemble: Take the sauce off the heat and immediately toss it with the cooked fettuccine noodles.
  10. 10
    Divide the pasta among serving bowls and top with a few slices of chicken. Garnish with parsley, more Parmesan, and black pepper if desired.
