Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz (225g) fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prep the Ingredients:
Begin by dicing the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and mincing the garlic cloves. Grate the Parmesan cheese and chop the fresh parsley if using, for garnish.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Pasta:
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Then, add the fettuccine pasta and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir until everything is well combined and heated through. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve:
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve the One-Pan Chicken Alfredo Pasta hot, straight from the skillet, and enjoy!
