CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo image

Classic and easy to make, this version of Alfredo doesn't use flour to thicken the sauce. Instead, it relies on a slight simmer and a heavy dose of cheese.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces fettuccine
Olive oil, for tossing
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 2)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
  • Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
  • Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH HOMEMADE FETTUCCINE



Chicken and Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo with Homemade Fettuccine image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 8 ounces), plus extra if needed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs plus 2 yolks
1 pound broccoli florets, large pieces cut in half or quartered
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest (2 lemons)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3 small breasts)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (4 cloves)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups half-and-half
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1 lemon)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the homemade fettuccine: Combine the flour and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the eggs and yolks and mix on medium speed. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl, pushing the flour towards the center. Continue to mix on medium speed, repeating these steps until the dough comes together into a ball. If the dough sticks to the sides of the bowl, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it forms a cohesive ball. Knead the dough on medium-high for 3 to 4 minutes. When the dough is smooth, bright yellow in color and bounces back when pressed, transfer it to a lightly floured work surface. Knead by hand a few more times and then form into a ball. The dough should feel moist but not sticky; knead in more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours.
  • Fit the stand mixer with the pasta roller attachment and set to the widest setting (No. 1). Position the stand mixer with 2 to 3 feet of counter space to the left. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide into three portions. Work with one piece of dough at time, keeping the rest under plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out.
  • With your fingers, press a portion of the dough into a roughly 5-by-2 1/2-inch rectangle. Dust lightly with flour on both sides. Turn the mixer onto low speed and feed the dough through the roller with the 2 1/2-inch parallel to the roller. Next, fold the two ends of the dough into the center so they just meet and then fold one half over the other so the dough closes like a book; this is called laminating the dough. Use your fingers to seal the two edges together, then once again shape the dough into a 5-by-2 1/2-inch rectangle. Dust the dough with flour and feed it through the roller a second time. Repeat by laminating the dough one more time and feeding it through the roller. Dust with flour and feed through the roller three more times, dust with more flour as needed.
  • Adjust the roller to setting No. 3 and feed the dough through the roller twice. Adjust to setting No. 5 and feed the dough through two more times. At this point the dough will be over a foot long. Use your right hand to feed the dough through the roller and your left hand to catch the dough. Always be very gentle with the dough to prevent tearing. Be sure to feed the dough through the machine so that it does not fold onto itself. You can make small adjustments to how the dough is entering the roller by gently guiding it to the left or right. If the dough is too long to handle, simply cut it in half and work with a smaller portion.
  • Finally, adjust the roller to setting No. 7 and feed the dough through another two times. After the dough has gone through the roller for the last time, dust it all over with flour and then fold it over itself and hold under a piece of plastic wrap. Repeat these steps with the remaining two pieces of dough.
  • Replace the roller attachment with the fettucine cutter attachment. Dust a baking sheet with flour. Cut the rolled dough into 12-inch pieces and feed through the fettucine cutter on low speed. Twist the fettucine into a nest and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap while you cut the remaining dough. Lightly dust the tops of the fettucine nests with flour, cover with slightly dampened paper towel and then with plastic wrap. Hold at room temperature for no more than an hour or the pasta will dry out. (Makes 1 pound pasta dough.)
  • For the chicken and broccoli alfredo: Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Mix the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the broccoli to the preheated baking sheet and roast until the lightly charred and tender, 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt so that the water tastes like the ocean.
  • Heat a 12-inch, high-sided pan over medium heat. Add the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. When the butter is melted, add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. If the chicken has browned on both sides but isn't cooked through yet, remove to a baking sheet and finish in the oven. Let cool and then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To the same pan, add the minced garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and stir to combine, scraping up the dark bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk in 1 cup of the half-and-half, making sure the flour is completely combined, without any lumps. Whisk in the remaining 3 cups half-and-half, bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. When the mixture has thickened around the edges, but before your whisk leaves a trail behind it, add the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest and the Asiago and Parmesan, and whisk to combine. Turn the heat to low and season with salt and pepper. The sauce should have the consistency of a thick soup. If the sauce thickens too much, add a little of the pasta water to thin it out. Add the chicken and broccoli to the cheese sauce and hold over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook to the pasta: Separate the strands of pasta on the baking sheet and add them to the boiling water. Cook for 30 seconds, or until the pasta floats to the top. Drain and add to the cheese sauce. Add the lemon juice and toss to combine. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

SIMPLE ONE-SKILLET CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA



Simple One-Skillet Chicken Alfredo Pasta image

One of the reasons I like to cook mostly healthy food is so I can justify the occasional dish like this one. Plus, any one-skillet meal where the pasta cooks right in the sauce is a gift with purchase, in my book.

Provided by Katie Workman

Categories     Pasta     Kid-Friendly     Parmesan     Milk/Cream     Chicken     Dinner     Quick & Easy     Small Plates     One-Pot Meal

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 cups chicken broth, preferably low-sodium
1 package (1 pound) penne rigate or ziti
1 1/2 cups heavy (whipping) cream or half-and-half, warmed
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, in batches if necessary, and sauté until nicely browned on the outside, but still a bit pink inside, about 4 minutes (the pieces don't have to be browned on all sides; two sides is fine). Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
  • Do not clean the pan! Those brown bits on the bottom of the pan are going to add flavor to the sauce. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté over medium heat until you can smell it, 30 seconds. Turn the heat to high, add the chicken broth, and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen up all of those delicious caramelized bits. Bring to a simmer, lower to medium heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pasta, stir well, and simmer until the pasta starts to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the warm cream and the browned chicken with any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, most of the liquid has been absorbed, and the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes more.
  • Stir in the Parmesan until well incorporated, and adjust the seasonings.
  • Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the parsley, if desired. Serve hot and pass extra Parmesan at the table.
  • Alfredo Add-Ins
  • When you add the Parmesan in Step 4, you can add any of the following to the pot, alone or in combination; stir over medium heat for another minute or two. 1 tablespoon puréed chipotles in adobo sauce 4 cups sliced mushrooms, sautéed 3 cups lightly cooked tiny broccoli florets 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, such as oregano, thyme, or parsley Or, you can serve up portions of Chicken Alfredo Pasta for those who like it plain and simple, and add proportionate amounts of any of the add-ins to the pot.
  • Make Ahead
  • While it's certainly reasonable to thrill over a meal of reheated leftover Alfredo pasta, either warmed on the stovetop or in the microwave, this dish is best when it's made just before serving.

Whilst the pasta is cooking, add the butter to the frying pan over a medium heat, scraping the bottom a little to get any of the browned bits. Tip in the cream along with the nutmeg and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, use tongs to transfer the pasta straight from the water into the frying pan with the cream mixture. Sprinkle most of the parmesan over and use the tongs to toss it all together, adding a splash of the pasta water if it looks a little stiff. Season well, then tip into bowls. Top with the remaining parmesan, a scattering of parsley, and black pepper.

Alfredo chicken recipes are delicious and easy-to-make main course dishes which are perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion. The dish is named after the Italian chef, Alfredo Di Lelio, who invented it in the early 20th century. It is typically made by combining cooked chicken with a rich and creamy alfredo sauce made with butter, heavy cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. The result is a flavorful and satisfying meal which is loved by people of all ages.

History

The history of alfredo chicken recipes dates back to the early 20th century in Rome, Italy. According to legend, a Roman restaurateur named Alfredo Di Lelio created the dish to please his wife who was pregnant and had lost her appetite. He made a simple white pasta dish using butter, cream, and Parmesan cheese and served it to her. It was an instant hit and soon became popular among the Italian aristocracy. The dish was known as fettuccine alfredo and was typically served with freshly cooked fettuccine pasta.

Ingredients

To make alfredo chicken recipes, the following ingredients are typically required:
  • Chicken breast
  • Butter
  • Heavy cream
  • Garlic
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper
Chicken Breast
Chicken breast is the star of the dish, and it can be cooked in any way you like. You can grill it, roast it, or sauté it. The key is to make sure it is cooked thoroughly before adding it to the alfredo sauce.
Butter
Butter is one of the essential ingredients in alfredo sauce. It adds richness and flavor to the dish. Use unsalted butter for this recipe to avoid making the dish too salty.
Heavy Cream
Heavy cream is a key ingredient in the recipe which gives the sauce its signature creaminess. Make sure to use heavy cream and not half and half or milk, as they are not thick enough to make a rich and creamy sauce.
Garlic
Garlic is a crucial ingredient in the recipe which adds flavor and aroma to the dish. Use fresh garlic cloves and chop them finely for best results.
Parmesan Cheese
Parmesan cheese is another essential ingredient in the dish. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best results, as pre-packaged cheese may contain additives that affect the quality of the dish.
Salt and Pepper
Salt and pepper are necessary to add flavor to the dish. Use them in moderation and taste the sauce before serving to adjust the seasoning.

Method

The following steps explain how to make alfredo chicken recipes:
  1. Cook the chicken breast using your preferred method and set it aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, which should take approximately one minute.
  3. Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer while whisking continuously. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and whisk until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked chicken breast to the saucepan and stir to coat it in the sauce.
  6. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is heated through and coated in the sauce.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dish cool for a minute before serving.
  8. Serve hot with your preferred side dish, such as pasta or vegetables.

Variations

There are many variations of alfredo chicken recipes that you can try based on your taste preferences. Here are some ideas to get you started:
  • Add vegetables such as broccoli or bell peppers to the sauce for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Use different types of cheese such as Gouda or cheddar instead of Parmesan cheese.

Alfredo chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are cooking for a special event or just want to make a delicious meal for your family, this recipe is sure to impress. Here are some valuable tips to help you make the best alfredo chicken recipe possible:

Tip 1: Use high-quality chicken

The first tip when it comes to making the best alfredo chicken recipe is to use high-quality chicken. It’s important to select chicken breasts that are fresh, organic, and free-range, as these types of chicken have more flavor and are more tender. If you have the budget for it, consider going for a locally sourced chicken or even a heritage breed, which will give your dish an even richer flavor.

Tip 1.1: Pound chicken breasts to even thickness

If you decide to use chicken breasts for your alfredo chicken recipe, it’s important to pound them out to an even thickness. This will ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and will prevent dry spots. To do this, place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a Ziploc bag and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to lightly pound the chicken until it is an even thickness.

Tip 2: Make your own alfredo sauce

The secret to the best alfredo chicken recipe is in the sauce. While it may be tempting to use store-bought alfredo sauce, making your own will take your dish to the next level. Homemade alfredo sauce is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients, such as butter, heavy cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.

Tip 2.1: Use fresh herbs for added flavor

If you want to give your alfredo sauce an extra burst of flavor, consider using fresh herbs. Basil, parsley, and thyme are all excellent options that will add a touch of brightness to your sauce. Simply chop the herbs finely and add them to the sauce just before serving.

Tip 3: Don’t overcook your chicken

One of the biggest mistakes people make when cooking chicken is overcooking it. This can result in dry, rubbery chicken that is unappetizing. To avoid this, make sure to cook your chicken just until it is no longer pink in the center. A meat thermometer can come in handy here, as it will ensure that the chicken is cooked to the correct temperature.

Tip 3.1: Rest your chicken before cutting into it

After you’ve cooked your chicken, it’s crucial to let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into it. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in juicier, more tender meat. Simply cover the chicken with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tip 4: Add some texture and flavor with toppings

To make your alfredo chicken recipe even more impressive, consider topping it with some additional ingredients. Grilled vegetables, such as asparagus or zucchini, are a great way to add some texture and flavor to your dish. Mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes are also excellent options that will add a unique twist to your dish.

Tip 4.1: Toast nuts for added crunch

If you want to add even more texture to your alfredo chicken recipe, consider toasting some nuts. Walnuts, pine nuts, or almonds are all great options that will add crunch and depth of flavor. Simply toast the nuts in a dry pan over medium heat until they are lightly browned and fragrant.

Tip 5: Serve with the right accompaniments

Finally, it’s important to serve your alfredo chicken recipe with the right accompaniments. A simple side salad or steamed vegetables, such as broccoli or green beans, are great options that will balance out the richness of the alfredo sauce. You could also serve your dish with some garlic bread or a crusty baguette to soak up any extra sauce.

Tip 5.1: Consider wine pairings

If you want to take your alfredo chicken recipe to the next level, consider pairing it with a great bottle of wine. A crisp white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, is an excellent choice that will complement the richness of the dish without overpowering it. Alternatively, a light red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Chianti, can also be a great option.

Conclusion

By following these valuable tips, you can make the best alfredo chicken recipe possible. Using high-quality chicken, making your own alfredo sauce, not overcooking the chicken, adding toppings for texture and flavor, and serving with the right accompaniments will all elevate your dish and make it a hit with your family or guests. So, don't hesitate to get into the kitchen and start cooking today!
