📝 Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 chicken breasts (cut into strips or cubes)

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tsp paprika (optional)

1 tbsp olive oil or butter

For the Alfredo Sauce:

2 tbsp butter

4–5 garlic cloves (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup milk

¾ cup grated parmesan cheese

Salt & black pepper to taste

Pinch of nutmeg (optional, adds warmth)

Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

For the Pasta:

250g fettuccine or any pasta of choice

Water & salt for boiling

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Boil salted water and cook the pasta until al dente.

Drain and set aside (reserve ½ cup of pasta water).

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.

In a pan, heat oil or butter and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same pan, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Pour in cream and milk. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.

Stir in parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add a splash of pasta water if it’s too thick.

Step 4: Combine & Serve

Add cooked pasta and chicken to the sauce. Mix well to coat everything evenly.

Garnish with fresh parsley and extra parmesan on top.

🌸 Areeba’s Tips:

Use freshly grated parmesan for best melt and flavor.

Don’t overcook the pasta — al dente texture holds sauce better.

Add mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

Store leftovers in an airtight container – reheats beautifully!

🧀 Serving Suggestion:

Pair it with garlic bread and a fresh salad. This pasta is creamy, satisfying, and crowd-pleasing — no one will believe it’s homemade!
