Description

Golden seared chicken breasts rest on a bed of perfectly cooked linguine, all wrapped in a rich, velvety Alfredo sauce infused with fresh garlic and butter. Perfect for family dinners or special occasions!

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5–6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)

For the Linguine:

  • 12 ounces linguine
  • Salt for pasta water

Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season Chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. Pat dry and season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  2. Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover.

  3. Cook Linguine: In a large pot, boil salted water. Cook linguine until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.

  4. Make Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes.

  5. Finish Sauce: Add heavy cream, bringing to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

  6. Combine: Toss linguine with the Alfredo sauce, using reserved pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.

  7. Serve: Slice the chicken and arrange on top of pasta. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
