Chicken Alfredo

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them in a skillet over medium heat until they are golden and cooked through. Once done, set them aside and let them rest before slicing into strips.

2. 2

   Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving some of the pasta water.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for another minute to remove the raw flour taste.

5. 5

   Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens.

6. 6

   Reduce the heat to low and add the grated cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

7. 7

   Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

8. 8

   Serve the pasta with sliced chicken breast on top. Garnish with extra cheese and parsley if desired.
