Here’s how you can turn those ingredients into a full, delicious Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken & Linguine in Alfredo Sauce recipe — a comforting, restaurant-style meal made easily at home:
🍗 Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces linguine pasta, cooked al dente
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Cook the Linguine
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water.
2️⃣ Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and sauté until golden brown and cooked through — about 6–8 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Garlic Butter Base
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (but not browned).
4️⃣ Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring constantly.
Lower the heat and simmer for about 3–4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
If it’s too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
5️⃣ Combine Everything
Add the cooked chicken back into the pan and stir to coat with the sauce.
Toss in the linguine, mixing gently until every strand is coated in the creamy Alfredo sauce.
6️⃣ Serve and Garnish
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a touch more Parmesan, if desired.
Serve warm — creamy, garlicky, and full of rich flavor!
🍽️ Pro Tip:
For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce before tossing the pasta.
