Classic Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
With a deliciously creamy sauce and perfectly seasoned chicken, Classic Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is everyone’s favorite pasta dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fettuccine pasta
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 cups + 3 tbsp chicken broth, divided
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Once the pasta reaches your desired tenderness, strain and set aside.
- Season the chicken on both sides with Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and 1 tsp of salt.
- To a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is completely cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside, covered with aluminum foil to keep the chicken warm.
- In the same pan you cooked the chicken in, add the minced garlic and 3 tablespoons of the chicken broth. Stir the garlic around and scrape the flavorful bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the remaining chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, stir in the heavy cream and heat for a few minutes. When the heavy cream starts to simmer, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Turn the heat to low and let the Parmesan melt, stirring occasionally.
- Make the cornstarch slurry by stirring the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the Alfredo sauce and let the sauce thicken.
- Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the sauce. Serve over the fettuccine and enjoy.
