Creamy Chicken Alfredo is a classic Italian dish that is perfect for a comforting and satisfying meal. It's creamy, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make at home. In this blog, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of making a delicious and comforting Creamy Chicken Alfredo.

Ingredients:

- 1 pound fettuccine pasta

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter

- 2 cups heavy cream

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

- Fresh parsley for garnish

Step 1: Cook the pasta

Begin by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into thin strips and set aside.

Step 3: Make the sauce

In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and stir until well combined. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and fully incorporated.

Step 4: Combine the pasta, chicken, and sauce

Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet with the sauce and stir until well coated. Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and stir until fully combined with the pasta and sauce.

Step 5: Serve

Garnish the Creamy Chicken Alfredo with fresh parsley and serve hot.
