Servings 2
Calories 2057kcal
Ingredients
- 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces butter
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder if desired
- 8 ounces fettuccine prepared according to the package directions
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill and set aside.
- To make the alfredo sauce, warm the cream and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until small bubbles begin to form. Do not let the mixture come to a boil. Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk quickly. Add the garlic powder, if desired, and continue whisking for a minute or two until the sauce thickens.
- To serve, cut the grilled chicken breast into slices. Place half of the prepared pasta on each plate and top with the alfredo sauce and sliced chicken breast.

Recipe Tips
- I use fettuccine but you can substitute with linguini or even spaghetti. This sauce would also be nice with a penne if you enjoy that pasta.
- When cooking the chicken, I like to saute on the first side for about 5-7 minutes. Then flip it for an additional 3-4 minutes. Make sure it's cooked through before serving.
- If you want to save some of the sauce, take it out of the pan before adding the pasta. Store it in a separate container so you can use it again. Keep it refrigerated.
