Creamy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4: Cook the chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Step 5: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 6: In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well.

Step 8: Add the parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir continuously until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 9: Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.

Step 10: Arrange the sliced chicken on top of the pasta.

Step 11: Garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan cheese before serving.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce.

Avoid overheating to prevent the sauce from separating.

You can freeze the chicken separately for up to 2 months, but the pasta sauce is best enjoyed fresh for the creamiest texture.
