A quick and easy creamy one-pot chicken Alfredo pasta recipe ready in 30 minutes, perfect for busy weeknights and comforting meals with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until opaque and golden, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stir to combine.
  5. Add pasta, pushing it down into the liquid so it is mostly submerged. Increase heat to medium-high until liquid simmers.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover loosely with a lid, and simmer, stirring every few minutes, until pasta is tender and sauce thickens, about 12-15 minutes. Add more broth or cream if sauce thickens too quickly.
  7. Remove lid and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

[‘Add garlic only after chicken is mostly cooked to avoid bitterness.’, ‘Use room temperature heavy cream to prevent curdling.’, ‘Stir regularly during simmering to prevent sticking and clumping.’, ‘Break pasta strands in half to fit better in the pot and cook evenly.’, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and flavor.’, ‘Avoid overcooking pasta; it should be al dente.’]
