Chicken with Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Chicken Alfredo can be prepared in many ways, an easy and tasty way is just to add some chicken to your Fettuccine Alfredo. Today, chicken Alfredo is one of the most popular chicken recipes in the US.

Ingredients

1 lbs Fettuccine pasta (Other pasta actually works, too)
1 lbs chicken breast, boneless, skinless, cut into stripes or cubes
Olive oil
½ cup of butter
1 ½ cup of heavy cream
1 ½ cup of Parmesan cheese, grounded
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Paprika
Nutmeg
Salt and pepper
Fresh basil

Directions

Bring the water for your pasta to boil in a pot of fitting size (larger and high for Fettuccine or Spaghetti, smaller for other forms of pasta), add a tablesspoon of salt and another tablespoon of oil (a cheap one will perfectly do it, it’s just for the pasta not to clump) and cook the pasta. Stir every now and then. Drain them after they are al dente (usually about 8 – 10 minutes) and set them aside.

Meanwhile cut the chicken breast into stripes or cubes, season with salt and pepper, a dash of nutmeg and a little paprika. I like also adding some crushed garlic. Now saute them quickly until the meat turns white. Set the chicken aside until the Alfredo sauce is ready.

In a skillet, melt the butter, add some curshed garlic and after the butter has melt, add also the cream and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Add also ¼ tablespoon of salt and some pepper. Mix well until the whole composition is blended. Now add the chicken to the sauce, mix again and toss it over your pasta, mix little bit so that everything is covered with Alfredo sauce. Top your chicken Alfredo with the remaining cheese and fresh basil. Serve with a dry white wine.

Cooking Tips

You will obtain the best result, if you mix all the seasoning, including the crushed garlic with olive oil and marinate the cut chicken stripes/cubes for at least 10 minutes.
Afterwards, just follow the regular recipe.
