Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Cooking the Chicken
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, and stir in the Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
- Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Combining Everything
- Toss the drained fettuccine and cooked chicken into the sauce, ensuring everything is well coated. Let it simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serving
- Plate the Alfredo and garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Pro Tips: Ensure not to overcrowd the chicken in the skillet, and avoid boiling the sauce to keep it creamy. Prep components ahead of time for convenience.
