Ingredients
1 lb 1 fettuccine pasta
1 lb 1 chicken breast
2 tsp 2 Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp 1/2 onion powder
1/2 tsp 1/2 garlic powder
2 tsp 2 salt
2 tbsp 2 olive oil
1 tbsp 1 minced garlic
2 cups 2 + 3 tbsp chicken broth, divided
1 cup 1 heavy cream
2 cups 2 Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp 1 cornstarch
1 tbsp 1 water
Directions
- 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.
