A meal in 30 minutes or less! We’re making Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo - a bit lightened up, without using any heavy cream.
4-5 cloves garlic, minced
4 pieces of chicken thigh, sliced
6 oz cream cheese
2 cups whole milk
8 oz dried fettuccine pasta
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
1 tsp kosher salt
Ground black pepper
In a large pot, boil pasta with 1 tsp salt for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In another large pan, add olive oil and cook the chicken on each side for 4-5 minutes until nice and golden brown.
Remove from the pan and add minced garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add cream cheese and warm it up until it’s soft, then add milk. Whisk it together so it’s creamy the milk comes to a slight boil.
Add the broccoli, chicken back in, salt, and the pasta on top. Cover and let the broccoli cook for 5 minutes until it’s “al dente” as well.
Stir together with parmesan cheese and serve.
Garnish with parsley and shaved parmesan. Enjoy!
