How to make this Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts (approx. 500g, see Tips)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 360ml milk (I use semi-skimmed)
- 360ml chicken stock (made using a stock cube or pot)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 240g fettuccine, tagliatelle or spaghetti
- 120ml double cream (I use Elmlea to reduce calories!)
- 85g parmesan, grated
- freshly chopped parsley, to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil over a medium high heat in a large skillet. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for around 8 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through (I check that the temperature is around 72C to 74C using a meat thermometer). Remove to a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes, then slice.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the milk, stock and garlic to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and bring to a simmer. Add your choice of pasta and stir frequently for about 3 minutes, then let it simmer gently for another 8 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
- Stir in the cream and grated parmesan and simmer for about a minute until the sauce thickens.
- Add the sliced chicken to the pan, stir for another minute to heat the chicken through and then remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with the chopped parsley…and enjoy!
