Here’s a simple recipe for recreating Olive Garden’s famous Chicken Alfredo:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta, cooked according to package instructions
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and add them back to the skillet, allowing them to heat through in the sauce.
- Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing until evenly coated in the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
