How to make this Chicken Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts (approx. 500g, see Tips)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 360ml milk (I use semi-skimmed)
  • 360ml chicken stock (made using a stock cube or pot)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 240g fettuccine, tagliatelle or spaghetti
  • 120ml double cream (I use Elmlea to reduce calories!)
  • 85g parmesan, grated
  • freshly chopped parsley, to garnish 

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil over a medium high heat in a large skillet.  Season both sides of the chicken with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for around 8 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through (I check that the temperature is around 72C to 74C using a meat thermometer). Remove to a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes, then slice. 
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and add the milk, stock and garlic to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and bring to a simmer. Add your choice of pasta and stir frequently for about 3 minutes, then let it simmer gently for another 8 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. 
  3. Stir in the cream and grated parmesan and simmer for about a minute until the sauce thickens. 
  4. Add the sliced chicken to the pan, stir for another minute to heat the chicken through and then remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with the chopped parsley…and enjoy!
