Fettuccine Alfredo With Grilled Chicken
Fettuccine pasta smothered in a rich, creamy Alfredo sauce and served with succulent strips of grilled chicken. This dreamy homemade Alfredo sauce has aromatic flavours of garlic, butter, cream and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 200 g (~ 2 cups) fettuccine
- 2 tbsp (25g) butter unsalted
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 cup (250ml) heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon chicken powder optional
- ½ cup (50g) Parmesan freshly shredded plus extra for topping
- ¼ - ½ cup pasta water
- 1-2 tablespoon parsley chopped
GRILLED CHICKEN
- 1 (300g) chicken breast sliced lengthwise to make two cutlets
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, paprika powder, black pepper, garlic powder and Italian herbs. Leave for 20-30 mins.
- Heat olive oil in a big pan/skillet. Cook the chicken breasts on medium-high heat around 5 minutes each side till golden and cooked through. Remove and keep aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt to a pot of water and bring to boil. Add your fettuccine and cook it a minute less than your package instructions.
- In the same pan where you grilled chicken, melt the butter.
- Then add the minced garlic and slightly toast it.
- Pour in the cream and bring it to a simmer.
- Add the dried oregano, red chili flakes, white pepper and chicken powder. Mix and let the cream reduce slightly on medium-low heat.
- Mix in the Parmesan cheese till it is completely melted. The sauce should be thick and creamy by now. If not, cook it a little longer.
- Drain the fettuccine, don't rinse it and add to your sauce. Lower the heat and toss it well.
- Add a few splashes of pasta water to thin out the sauce.
- Serve immediately topped with sliced grilled chicken, grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
