Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Chicken

   In the same skillet, add the chicken breasts and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet, let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

4. 4

   Make the Alfredo Sauce

   In the skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Combine Everything

   Add the cooked fettuccine, sautéed vegetables, and sliced chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss until everything is well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the Chicken Alfredo warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
