    Chicken Alfredo Recipe

    This is one of my favorite pasta. It is quite different from tomato based pasta recipe. This one is cream based, it has its own amazing flavour and creaminess. Totally yummy. I added chicken in this, but you can make it completely veg.

    Add any vegetables like mushroom, zuchinni, peppers, broccoli in this and make it veg alfredo..You can check out my pasta recipes here, I have quite a collection of it. I have an indian style pasta recipe coming on its way so keep looking for it.

    About Chicken Alfredo

    Fettuccine Alfredo, also known as fettuccine al burro, is an Italian pasta dish that consists of fresh fettuccine tossed in butter and Parmesan cheese. As the cheese melts, it emulsifies the liquids, resulting in a smooth, rich cheese sauce that coats the pasta. The dish is named after Alfredo di Lelio, who served it at his restaurant in
    Rome from the early to mid-twentieth century; the ceremony of preparing it table side was an important part of the dish.

    Ingredients for Chicken Alfredo Recipe

    Pasta

    Since fresh pasta frequently contains eggs, the flavours of dried and fresh pastas are likely to differ. Similarly, the flavours of egg noodles, soba noodles, and rice noodles will differ due to the different ingredients.

    Chicken Breast

    Chicken breasts are prone to drying out when overcooked, so they should be cooked quickly over high heat. Cooking chicken breasts in a skillet, stir-frying, roasting/baking, or grilling are the best options.

    Parmesan Cheese

    Parmesan cheese has a hard, gritty texture and a fruity, nutty flavour. It is typically eaten grated over pastas or in soups and risottos, but it can also be eaten on its own as a snack.

    Cream or Milk

    A dairy product like cream or milk is added for richness and creaminess. but I like the first version better because it is guilt free.

    Version 1: Chicken Alfredo Recipe (with Milk, Low Fat)

    How to Make Chicken Alfredo (Steps)

    Step 1: Cooking the pasta

    Cook pasta in boiling salted water. Cook pasta 2 mins less than the timing mentioned in the package. Drain and set aside.

    Step 2: Cooking chicken for Alfredo chicken

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Add in chicken, season with salt and pepper. Cook on high heat for 2 mins. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

    Step 3: Making the sauce for Alfredo 

    Heat butter in the same pan. Add 1 tbsp olive oil. Add in onions and saute for 2 mins. In goes garlic and saute for 30 more seconds. Now add in capsicum, mushrooms along with salt, pepper and red chilli flakes. Now saute this for 2 mins. Pour in milk and the cooked chicken in and bring it to a boil. Add in cooked pasta along with parmesan cheese and parsley. Mix everything well and lower the flame. Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 3 mins.

    Step 4: Finishing the pasta

    Remove the lid and mix everything well. The pasta would have absorbed all the milk and become really creamy. Finish with parmesan cheese and mix well. Serve hot.

    This version of alfredo chicken is made with cream and bow tie pasta. I love how the cream adds to the nice creaminess of the dish without over powering the dish.
