A delicious creamy pasta dish featuring grilled chicken and a rich Alfredo sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
- Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes to taste.
- Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce. Toss until the pasta is completely coated with the sauce.
- Serve: Plate the pasta and evenly distribute the grilled chicken strips on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs before grilling.
- Make sure not to overcook the pasta; it should have a firm bite.
- You can add vegetables like broccoli or spinach for more nutrition.
- Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more cream or some pasta water if needed.
