Hey fellow foodies,

I wanted to kick off a recipe thread with one of my all-time favorite dinner dishes—Chicken Alfredo Pasta! It's creamy, comforting, and super easy to make. Great for a cozy night in. Let me know what you think or any twists you add to it!

Ingredients:​

• For the Chicken:
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
• For the Alfredo Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
• For the Pasta:
  • 12 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
  • Salt for boiling water
• Garnish:
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:​

1. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
   • Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
   • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
   • Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Adjust to taste.
4. Combine Everything:
   • Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce.
   • Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are well coated with the sauce. Heat through for a couple of minutes.
5. Serve:
   • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
   • Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
     

This Chicken Alfredo Pasta is a real crowd-pleaser in my house. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do! Can't wait to hear your feedback and any variations you come up with!
