Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Soften cream cheese by letting it sit for 30+ minutes or microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Grate parmesan.
Step 2
Boil salted water and cook fettuccine al dente.
Step 3
Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise (4 cutlets), season with garlic powder, salt & pepper, and coat in flour.
Step 4
Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a deep skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken for 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Step 5
Wipe out excess grease if needed. Add remaining butter, cream cheese, cream, chicken broth, and garlic. Heat over medium, stirring until cream cheese melts.
Step 6
Let sauce bubble gently for 5 minutes to reduce. Slice chicken into strips.
Step 7
Stir in parmesan and cook for another minute. If sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 8
Drain fettuccine, toss with sauce, and serve with sliced chicken on top or mixed in. Garnish with more parmesan.
