, VA: Here is one of the best Chicken Alfredo recipes out there!
Here Is What Most People Don’t Know About Making Chicken Alfredo:
- Creamy Sauce: Use a combination of heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a rich, smooth Alfredo sauce. Avoid using pre-grated cheese, as it doesn’t melt as well.
- Perfectly Cooked Chicken: Sear the chicken breasts until golden brown before slicing them. This locks in the juices and adds flavor to the dish.
- Seasoning Boost: Add a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce for a subtle depth of flavor that complements the creamy sauce.
- Bald Buck Seasoning: For this dish, we replace our salt with Bald Buck Seasoning
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon Bald Buck Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with Bald Buck Seasoning and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg (if using) and season the sauce with Bald Buck Seasoning and pepper to taste.
- Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce until fully coated. Add the sliced chicken on top.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
