Here’s a recipe for a classic Italian dish: Chicken Alfredo Pasta.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Alfredo Sauce:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

For the Pasta:

• 12 ounces fettuccine or your preferred pasta
• Salt for the pasta water

Instructions:

Preparing the Chicken:

1. Season the Chicken:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.

1. Cook the Chicken:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Making the Alfredo Sauce:

1. Cook the Garlic:

• In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

1. Prepare the Sauce:

• Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Preparing the Pasta:

1. Cook the Pasta:

• Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

Assembling the Dish:

1. Combine Pasta and Sauce:

• Add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo sauce in the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.

1. Add the Chicken:

• Add the sliced chicken to the pasta and toss to combine.

1. Serve:

• Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
