A classic Italian-American dish featuring tender grilled chicken and silky fettuccine coated in a rich Alfredo sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until just al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, but avoid browning.
  3. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and slightly increase the heat. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  4. Add the Cheese: Lower the heat and gradually mix in the grated Parmesan. Stir until it melts, forming a smooth sauce. Season with salt and pepper. For a thinner sauce, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced grilled chicken and cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and the chicken is heated through (1–2 minutes).
  6. Serve: Plate the dish immediately. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider adding sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sundried tomatoes for extra flavor.
