Calories: Around 630 per serving
Ingredients:
250g fettuccine
Salt, for boiling pasta
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Garlic powder and salt for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups broccoli, steamed until tender-crisp
3 tablespoons butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1½ cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
Cook pasta: Boil fettuccine in salted water for 10–11 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season & grill chicken: Season chicken with garlic powder and salt. Heat oil in a pan and grill chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Rest briefly, then slice.
Start Alfredo sauce: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1 minute.
Add cream & cheese: Stir in cream and let it gently bubble. Add Parmesan and stir until fully melted and creamy. Season to taste.
Mix in broccoli: Add the broccoli and stir for another 2 minutes.
Toss pasta & chicken: Combine pasta and chicken with the sauce and heat through, tossing to coat evenly.
Finish & serve: Serve warm with a sprinkle of parsley and extra Parmesan if you like.
Notes:
For a lighter version, try half-and-half instead of cream.
Add a pinch of nutmeg or lemon zest for a twist.
