How to Make Garlic Chicken Alfredo

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and sauté until lightly browned and almost cooked through (3-5 minutes).
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the remaining 7 tablespoons of butter and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese and frozen peas. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy (2-3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the cooked fettuccine to the chicken and Alfredo sauce. Toss gently to coat.
  8. Divide the Garlic Chicken Alfredo evenly among 4 shallow bowls and serve immediately.
