A comforting classic dish featuring creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and fettuccine pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 16 ounces fettuccine pasta

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, Italian seasoning, salt, paprika, and onion powder in a shallow dish.
  2. Coat each chicken breast in the spice mixture.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set the chicken aside.
  4. Lower the heat, add the remaining butter, and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  5. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, then gradually add the grated Parmesan, whisking until smooth.
  6. Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce.
  7. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange it on top of the pasta before serving.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding more garlic or a splash of chicken broth after sautéing the garlic. Avoid overcooking the fettuccine to maintain an al dente texture.
