❤️ Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Garlic Butter Chicken
2–3 chicken breasts, sliced or cubed
Salt & pepper
1–2 tsp Italian seasoning
3 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
For the Alfredo Pasta
12 oz linguine
2 tbsp butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup chicken broth
Salt & pepper
Optional: red pepper flakes, parsley, extra parmesan
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Cook Your Linguine
Boil in salted water until perfectly al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
- Make the Garlic Butter Chicken
In a hot pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add seasoned chicken and cook until golden, juicy, and lightly crisped on the edges.
- Create the Alfredo Sauce
Add butter, cream, broth, and parmesan to the same pan. Let the sauce gently thicken, stirring often so it stays silky and smooth.
- Combine Everything
Toss in the cooked linguine, coating every strand with the creamy Alfredo sauce. Add chicken back in, stir, and let everything simmer together for a minute.
- Serve & Enjoy
Top with parsley, parmesan, or even a squeeze of lemon if you like a bright touch. Serve hot and watch it disappear!
🔥 Tips for the Best Creamy Chicken Alfredo
Don’t overcook the pasta — it continues cooking in the sauce.
Use fresh parmesan for the smoothest, most luxurious sauce.
Add pasta water if the sauce gets too thick.
Try adding broccoli or spinach for a veggie boost.
Swap chicken for shrimp for a seafood twist.
