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.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Add broccoli to sauce.
  • Drain cooked pasta. Scoop into individual serving bowls and pour sauce on top.

CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO



Creamy Chicken Alfredo image

Rich, thick and creamy Alfredo sauce on a layer of pasta or oven roasted vegetables. Mmmm....Mamma Mia! What else can one say? This quick and easy recipe shows you how to make this Italian sauce from scratch.

Provided by tastetester 2

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pint heavy cream
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons cream cheese
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Directions:
  • Place the cream, butter and cream cheese together in a saucepan until melted, stirring constantly.
  • Add Parmesan and garlic powder and simmer for about 15-20 minutes on a low heat until the cheese begins to brown just slightly. Take off the fire immediately. Check for seasoning.
  • Tips:
  • For a creamier and richer version, you could double the amount of butter.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-grated Parmesan doesn't melt as well and can make your sauce grainy.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use heavy cream. Half-and-half or milk will make your sauce too thin. Heavy cream gives it a rich, creamy texture.
  • Don't boil the sauce. Boiling the sauce will cause it to curdle. Keep it at a low simmer and stir it constantly.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
  • Serve the sauce over pasta. The classic choice is fettuccine, but you can also use spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta that you like.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh parsley. Parsley adds a fresh, bright flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This super creamy chicken Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and it can be on the table in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
