Serve with crusty bread and a nice bottle of wine (or soda) edited to add- you may use any store bought you like or your own homemade for the "ragu" sauce.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 - 32 oz chicken broth or water flavored with chicken bouillon
3 Tbsp butter, divided
1 tsp olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken, cut into bite sized cubes
1 tsp garlic paste
6 oz fettuccine pasta - break into
1 c whipping cream
3/4 c shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 - 1/2 c chopped green onion
1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
8 oz package, steamed asparagus - cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces - or other vegetable

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter and add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and garlic. Stirring occasionally until chicken is cooked. Place chicken and juices on a plate and set aside.
  • 2. In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling add the pasta and cook until tender. Drain and save 1/4 cup of broth.
  • 3. Add the pasta back to the same skillet, along with the cream, chicken and juices and slowly stir in the Parmesan cheese. Next stir in the pepper, onion and last tablespoon of butter. Cook until desired thickness, about 4 - 5 minutes. Add the cooked asparagus and heat through. ( if you need to thin out the sauce, add 1 tablespoon at a time of the reserved broth you cooked the pasta in.)
  • 4. Serve with additional green onions and Parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful tomato sauce: This is the base of your dish, so make sure it's packed with flavor. You can use a jarred sauce, but it's easy to make your own with fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs.
  • Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts before cooking helps to break down the fibers and make them more tender. You can also use a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is what makes chicken Parmesan so delicious, so don't skimp on quality. Use a hard cheese that melts well, such as Parmesan, Asiago, or Romano.
  • Cook the chicken until it's golden brown: This will give it a nice crispy crust. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken Parmesan with your favorite sides: Some popular options include spaghetti noodles, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken Parmesan is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dinner, give chicken Parmesan a try.
