🛒 Ingredients:

🍗 For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

🍝 For the Pasta:

  • 12 oz linguine, fettuccine, or pasta of your choice
  • Salt for boiling water

🧄 For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg for depth

🌿 Optional Garnishes:

  • Chopped parsley
  • Extra Parmesan
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Red pepper flakes for a kick

🔧 Instructions & Methods:

1. Cook the Pasta:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine until al dente (firm to the bite), according to package instructions.
  • Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Add chicken to the pan and cook until golden and fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes), turning occasionally.
  • Transfer to a plate and set aside.

3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter.
  • Once melted, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer (don’t boil).
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and optional nutmeg to taste.

4. Combine It All:

  • Return chicken to the pan with the sauce.
  • Add the cooked linguine and toss everything together. Use a bit of reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
  • Cook for 1–2 minutes to let the flavors come together.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Plate the creamy garlic chicken linguine.
  • Top with chopped parsley, extra Parmesan, and cracked pepper.

🏛️ History of Alfredo Sauce & Creamy Chicken Pasta

The original Fettuccine Alfredo dates back to early 20th-century Rome, created by Alfredo di Lelio. His version had just butter and Parmesan — no cream! But when the dish came to America, it evolved into the cream-based Alfredo we know and love today.

Pairing Alfredo with garlic butter chicken adds protein, bold flavor, and heartiness — making it a weeknight favorite or special dinner for pasta lovers worldwide.


🏗️ Formation – How It Comes Together:

  • Butter + garlic = rich, fragrant base
  • Heavy cream + Parmesan = luxurious, velvety sauce
  • Perfectly seared chicken adds protein and flavor depth
  • Al dente linguine soaks up the sauce beautifully
  • The entire dish is built in one pan, meaning less cleanup and more flavor!

It’s a beautiful balance of texture, taste, and aroma — every forkful is creamy, savory bliss.
