Chicken Alfredo: My Go-To Comfort DishTonight, I whipped up Chicken Alfredo, and it was a creamy, garlicky hug on a plate. The kitchen smelled amazing, and it came together in under 40 minutes—perfect for a busy night. My trick? Seasoning the chicken well and not skimping on Parmesan. Here’s my recipe:
Ingredients:
• 2 chicken breasts (1 lb), seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 12 oz fettuccine
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 2 cups grated Parmesan
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Salt, pepper, pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Steps:
1. Cook seasoned chicken in olive oil, 5-7 min/side. Slice.
2. Boil fettuccine in salted water, drain (save some water).
3. Melt butter, sauté garlic 1 min, add cream, then Parmesan. Stir ‘til thick. Season.
4. Toss pasta in sauce, top with chicken.
It was rich, satisfying, and a hit at my table. Next time, I might add a sprinkle of parsley for color. What’s your Alfredo twist?
