How to Make Chicken Alfredo
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add heavy cream and whisk constantly until smooth and simmering.
- Gradually whisk in half of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, stirring until melted and smooth. Add the remaining cheese and continue to stir until fully incorporated.
- Stir in white pepper, salt, and fresh ground black pepper to taste.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in white wine (if using).
- Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and toss to coat.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
