Chicken & Mushroom Alfredo
This Chicken & Mushroom Alfredo recipe is all about bringing home the rich and cozy flavors of a classic Italian restaurant. The combination of juicy chicken, aromatic mushrooms, and creamy sauce makes every forkful a delightful experience.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
Directions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. If using, pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with parsley. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
- While the sauce cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and toss with the Alfredo sauce. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
