If you’re yearning for a delightful plate of chicken fettuccine that hits all the right spots, your search ends here! This recipe is the culmination of my quest for the perfect chicken fettuccine, and I must say, it’s a winner. Doubling the pasta? Don’t forget to double the sauce too; you wouldn’t want a dry dish on your hands!
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fettuccine pasta
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 red sweet bell pepper, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pasta: Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the instructions on the package. You want it perfectly al dente, so keep an eye on it!
-
Cook the Chicken: While the pasta is simmering away, let’s focus on the chicken. In a large skillet, heat some cooking oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook them until they’re no longer pink in the middle. Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
-
Prepare the Sauce Base: Now, it’s time to create that creamy, dreamy sauce. In the same skillet (don’t wash it yet, we want to keep all those flavorful bits!), melt the cream cheese and butter over low heat. Keep stirring until the mixture turns smooth and velvety.
-
Add the Goodies: Once the cream cheese and butter are all cozy together, it’s time to invite the other ingredients to the party. Stir in the milk, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep stirring until the sauce starts to thicken up nicely.
-
Bring It All Together: Now comes the magic moment. Add back the cooked chicken, along with the prepared broccoli florets and grated parmesan cheese. Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and the chicken is heated through.
-
Serve and Enjoy: It’s finally time to assemble your masterpiece! Spoon the creamy chicken and veggie mixture over the cooked fettuccine pasta, and maybe sprinkle a bit more parmesan on top for good measure. Serve it hot, and get ready for some serious flavor fireworks!
This chicken fettuccine recipe is a true crowd-pleaser, perfect for a cozy family dinner or a special date night at home. So go ahead, whip up a batch, and savor every delicious bite!
