Creamy One-Pot Chicken Alfredo
Enjoy a rich and creamy chicken alfredo made with fettuccine and tender chicken breast in a single pot for easy cleanup.
Ingredients
- 200 g / 7oz chicken breast, cut in half horizontally
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 250 g / 8 oz fettuccine
- 2 cups milk, any fat %
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock / broth
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup thickened / heavy cream
- 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate and let rest, then slice.
- Add milk, chicken stock, and minced garlic to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then add the fettuccine.
- Stir the pasta every 30 seconds to prevent sticking until softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue stirring occasionally.
- After 9-10 minutes, the pasta should be almost cooked with some liquid remaining. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan.
- Simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and pasta is tender. If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of hot water to loosen.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra parmesan.
Notes
- For an extra rich sauce, use whole milk and heavy cream.
- If your sauce becomes too thick, stir in a tablespoon of hot water or milk at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Ensure your chicken is sliced to about 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking in the skillet. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
