Chicken Pasta Alfredo Recipe

Craving for a rich and tasty pasta dish? This Chicken Pasta Alfredo recipe is worth a try. The sauce is so rich and tasty and it also has ample amounts of protein from the chicken and nutrients from the broccoli.

Most of us are busy these days, but we and our family deserve a nice tasting home cooked meal. Consuming frozen foods are ok sometimes, if necessary. Why settle for instant food when you can make something quick and easy for lunch or dinner. This is what this pasta recipe is all about.

You may use any brand of pasta; although the recipe calls for fettuccine, spaghetti (angel hair or regular) works good too. As for the chicken, I try to flatten it a little by gently pounding the meat. I do this by arranging the meat on top of a chopping board and hit it gently using the flat end of the meat tenderizer tool. This ensures the chicken to be cooked equally and quickly. To ensure that the chicken is tasty, it is important to allow the seasonings to be absorbed by the meat. Give at least 10 minutes after the chicken is seasoned before pan frying.

The sauce is composed of different ingredients such as heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter. The key in making a good sauce is to mix all the ingredients properly for it to have a nice and steady consistency. You may also add other seasonings and vegetables to make the dish more appealing. For example, the extra garlic powder and broccoli that I placed improved the taste of the sauce and added more vitamins to the dish.
