Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups milk
1 large clove garlic, minced
8 ounces fettucine, broken in half
½ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 3 thinner pieces using a sharp knife. Sprinkle each chicken piece with garlic salt and Italian seasoning on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove onto a plate.
  • Add milk and garlic to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and add fettuccine. Cook, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent sticking until pasta has softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring every couple of minutes, 6 to 7 minutes more. Stir in cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and pasta is cooked, about 2 more minutes.
  • Serve immediately and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Provided by Kim

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pasta     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon dried basil
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground nutmeg
16 ounces tricolor rotini pasta
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or more to taste
¼ cup Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook until lightly browned and chicken is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle flour over chicken. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and almond milk. Season with basil, oregano, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
  • Mix in rotini pasta and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until sauce is slightly thickened and pasta is cooked, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and Greek yogurt. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Mixture will thicken as it cools. Serve topped with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Tips:

  • To make the sauce extra creamy, use a combination of heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead. Just be sure to add a little more Parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the chicken and sauce. This will give you plenty of room to stir and prevent the sauce from splattering.
  • If you're using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken Alfredo over your favorite pasta. Spaghetti, fettuccine, and penne are all great choices.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and flavor.
