# Indulge in the Ultimate Comfort Dish: Double Parmesan Garlic Chicken Alfredo!
When it comes to soul-soothing, heartwarming meals, few dishes can match the creamy decadence of a perfectly crafted Chicken Alfredo. But what if you could take it to the next level? Enter the **Double Parmesan Garlic Chicken Alfredo**—a sumptuous twist on the beloved classic, promising layers of flavor, luscious texture, and the irresistible allure of extra cheese.
## A Reinvented Classic
Traditional Chicken Alfredo has long delighted taste buds with its rich sauce and tender chicken over silky fettuccine. The Double Parmesan Garlic version elevates this experience with a generous blend of both freshly grated and aged Parmesan, infusing every bite with unmistakable nutty, salty character. Add aromatic garlic—twice, for good measure—and you’ve got a sauce that sings with depth.
## The Secret: Double the Goodness
What’s the secret behind this ultimate comfort dish? It’s all in the double dose:
- **Double Parmesan:** By combining two types of Parmesan—one aged for a sharper bite, and a younger, creamier one—you achieve a sauce with complexity and creaminess.
- **Double Garlic:** Roasted garlic lends warmth and sweetness, while sautéed fresh garlic imparts a punchy aroma. Together, they create an irresistible base.
## How It All Comes Together
### Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 head roasted garlic (instructions below)
- ½ cup freshly grated aged Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded young Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
### Method
1. **Roast the Garlic:** Slice the top from a garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes until soft. Squeeze out the roasted cloves.
2. **Cook the Pasta:** Boil fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water; drain.
3. **Prepare the Chicken:** Season chicken slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sear chicken until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
4. **Make the Sauce:** In the same skillet, melt butter and lightly sauté minced fresh garlic until fragrant. Add roasted garlic, mashing it into the butter. Stir in heavy cream.
5. **Add Cheeses:** Lower heat and slowly whisk in both Parmesan cheeses. Mix until completely melted and the sauce is velvety smooth. Adjust seasoning.
6. **Combine:** Toss in the cooked pasta, chicken, and a splash of reserved pasta water if needed. Coat everything in the sauce.
7. **Serve:** Top with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan for the ultimate garnish.
