Provided by Scrappy Geek

Categories     Dinner

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb chicken breast
1 1/4 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup grated cheese
1/2 lb cooked linguine

Steps:

  • Warm the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan.
  • Start cooking the chicken breasts seasoned with salt and pepper to taste on each side for about 7-8 minutes.

  • Finally, dice the cooked chicken into pieces and top the chicken pasta, Alfredo, to serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the chicken and the pasta.
  • Cook the chicken properly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that it is safe to eat and that it is tender and juicy.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the dish together. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and that complements the chicken and the pasta.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning that it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help to prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Garnish the dish before serving: A few simple garnishes can really elevate the dish. Try adding some chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Chicken and linguine pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
