Ingredients Needed

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Chardonnay wine for pairing

Preparation Steps

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and butter, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and add to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Slice the rested chicken and arrange on top of the pasta.

Serving and Pairing Tips

Serve the creamy chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with fresh parsley. A glass of chilled Chardonnay complements the richness of the sauce beautifully, enhancing the flavors of the dish. Opt for a lightly oaked Chardonnay for a balanced pairing.
