CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO



Creamy Chicken Alfredo image

I learned how to make creamy chicken Alfredo from my dad who has always been an incredible cook and amazing teacher. Chicken Alfredo was always my favorite. A lot of the recipes I see that are worthwhile are too much work because you have to make your own sauce, and those that don't have you make your own have no flavor. This recipe shows you how to take plain, bland, store-made sauce and make it more than restaurant-worthy.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (16 ounce) packages thin spaghetti
4 (15 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
½ tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups chopped broccoli

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook thin spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add Alfredo sauce to the chicken along with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion, basil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne. Bring to a slight boil; stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook mixture until cheese is melted and you are able to lift a spoon out of the sauce without cheese hanging onto it, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Drain cooked pasta. Scoop into individual serving bowls and pour sauce on top.

BASIL CHICKEN AND PASTA



Basil Chicken and Pasta image

This is a great quick meal; the chicken and sauce can be prepared in the time it takes to cook the pasta. You can add more cream or less pasta if you like it creamier. Try ziti or farfalle pasta to add even more variety to this recipe. The leftovers don't heat very well, so eat it all up the first time!

You can check the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta is best when it is cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Be sure to cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: There are many different brands of Alfredo sauce available, so be sure to choose one that you like the taste of. You can also make your own Alfredo sauce if you prefer.
