Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Pasta Pot
  • Strainer

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 oz linguine pasta
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a simmer, and stir in Parmesan cheese. Whisk until smooth.
  • Boil linguine in salted water until al dente. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  • Add cooked linguine to the Alfredo sauce. Mix well, using pasta water to adjust consistency if needed.
  • Place seared chicken over the pasta, spoon sauce on top, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Don’t overheat the Alfredo sauce after adding cheese; it could cause separation.
Add extra cream or a splash of pasta water if the sauce thickens too much on standing.
