As a cattle rancher, my husband's a big fan of beef. For him to comment on a poultry dish is rare. But he always tells me, "I love this casserole!" I first tasted it at a potluck; now, I fix it for my family (we have a 3-year-old daughter) once or twice a month, and I'm asked to take it to most every get-together. -Rochelle Brownlee, Big Timber, Montana

EASY CHICKEN FETTUCCINE



Easy Chicken Fettuccine image

This is so easy and so satisfying. This is our idea of comfort food! Not exactly low in calories and very rich! :)

Provided by Little Bee

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup cream
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
fresh parsley, chopped
fresh cracked black pepper
additional freshly grated parmesan cheese
to taste fettuccine, cooked

Steps:

  • Melt butter in skillet and saute chicken which has been cut into 2 inch chunks.
  • When chicken begins to take on color, add garlic and green onions.
  • Saute a few minutes being careful not to burn garlic Add remaining ingredients except parsley, cover and simmer over low heat until mixture thickens (you may need to add a little more parmesan cheese if you like it thicker) and chicken is tender and cooked all the way through.
  • Serve over cooked and drained fettuccine.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley, lots of cracked black pepper and additional parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. If you can, try to use organic and locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, and it can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. I recommend using a sharp cheddar cheese or a Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't skimp on the sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of this dish together. Make sure to use enough sauce to coat the chicken and the pasta.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This easy cheesy chicken fettuccine is a delicious and comforting dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's made with simple ingredients and it's ready in just 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
