Delicious, easy chicken alfredo
1 - Cook & drain pasta according to package directions.
2- Add olive oil to a cast-iron grill pan over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter to hot pan, then quickly add chicken breasts to the pan, seasoning with 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.
3-Cook chicken breasts until golden on first side, then flip over. Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium, cooking until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 to 7 minutes on the second side. Place on a plate and cover with foil until cool enough to slice into strips.
4-In a large, deep sided skillet, melt remaining 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Add garlic to pan, cooking until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
5-Whisk flour into butter, stirring until no chunks remain. Slowly whisk in cream.
6-Continue to cook just until sauce is steaming and slightly thickened. Whisk 1/2 cup Parmesan into sauce, stirring until smooth. Remove pan from heat and cover.
7- Toss pasta with the alfredo sauce, top with chicken and parsley
You can add the chicken to the sauce or serve each item separately. I put the sauce, pasta, and chicken out separately and let everyone create their own dish. A side of broccoli goes great for those that like their alfredo with broccoli.
