HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN ALFREDO
Sear chicken thighs (or breasts) first to enjoy the crispy golden texture through the creamy pasta, then remove them to ensure a juicy chicken pieces. You’re more than welcome to dice the chicken first, sear, then leave in the pot to continue cooking with the rest of the ingredients on from Step 2 in the recipe box (at the end of this post).
TIPS FOR ONE POT ALFREDO
There are three main steps to this recipe. CHICKEN → ALFREDO SAUCE → PASTA.
The sauce I use includes wine. I love wine in this but you can leave it out all together if you wish. If using wine, please use a good quality dry white wine. I use a $20 bottle of Pinot Grigio in most of my recipes on this site, but a good Sav Blanc or Chardonnay will suit the favours in this creamy sauce. You can substitute the heavy cream (or thickened cream) with half and half or a reduced fat cooking cream to reduce the calories. You can also use evaporated milk depending on your dietary requirements. Using freshly grated parmesan cheese enhances the flavour and ensures the cheese melts through the sauce. Please don’t use powdered parmesan. Remove the pot off of the stove when the pasta is just cooked al dente (firm to the bite). The sauce begins to evaporate quickly into the hot pasta while it’s resting or waiting to be served.
Chicken Alfredo has never been easier!
ALFREDO SAUCE
The sauce in this recipe naturally thickens as the starch from the pasta is released into the sauce while cooking. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add extra cream (or evaporated milk) in ¼ cup increments until smooth and silky. ↓↓↓ LIKE SO ↓↓↓
