3. Make the Alfredo Sauce

  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (optional).

4. Combine

  • Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
  • Top with sliced chicken and gently stir to combine.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan before serving.

👩‍🍳 Tips & Variations

  • Use grilled shrimp or mushrooms for a twist.
  • Try whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for dietary needs.

  • Use half-and-half instead of cream for a lighter option.

🥗 Serving Suggestions

Serve Creamy Chicken Alfredo with:

  • Caesar salad or arugula salad
  • A glass of chilled white wine like Pinot Grigio

📦 Storage Tips

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce.
