Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Italian marinated chicken breasts
  • 1/2 lb Fettuccine
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1.5 cup whipping cream
  • 1.5 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup Parmesan (or Romano) grated

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to package directions
    1/2 lb Fettuccine
  • While water is boiling, start chicken. I use air fryer at 360 for 12 minutes. You can also pan sear on medium heat or grill.

  • When there is five min left on pasta, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add butter to pan. Once melted, add garlic to the pan.
    6 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp garlic
  • Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally
  • Whisk in flour
    2 tbsp flour

    1.5 cup whipping cream, 1.5 cup 2% milk, 1 cup Parmesan (or Romano)
  • Whisk frequently until sauce simmers and remove from heat
  • Drain pasta when done
  • Remove chicken from air fryer and let rest for five minutes. Then slice.
  • Add cooked pasta to alfredo and toss lightly. Top with sliced chicken.
  • Serve and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and parsley

Notes

Can you freeze alfredo?
Technically - sure - but the sauce "breaks" and separates when you reheat. So you can - if you just have 1-2 portions but definitely don't make a full batch of alfredo sauce and freeze. You can make this homemade alfredo sauce in less than 10 minutes - it's not a time saver to freeze it.
What if I don’t have cream?
You can use any of the following: 2%, whole milk, half and half or cream – I like to balance it out. The more cream – the thicker. The more 2% – the thinner your sauce will be. If you’re JUST using 2% – you’ll have a fairly thin sauce and need to add more butter, cheese, flour.
What pasta goes best with alfredo?
Fettucini is obviously a natural – but you can pretty much use any pasta. It’s a little heavy for angel hair – so you’d want to make a fairly thin sauce if using angel hair.
