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.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Lunch

Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all purpose flour
½ cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
7 cups low sodium chicken stock
½ lb dried fettuccine noodles, broken 1 in (2.54 cm) pieces
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus more for garnish, plus 2 tablespoons
4 cups baby spinach

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, season the chicken with the salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, cook the chicken, turning the pieces halfway through, until lightly browned on all sides, 5-6 minutes per batch. If the pot seems dry, add more olive oil as needed between batches. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the flour, stirring to coat the aromatics. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is just cooked but has not yet started to brown.
  • Pour the white wine into the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the chicken stock and season with salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the fettuccine and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot or clumping together.
  • Add the chicken and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the Parmesan cheese, a couple tablespoons at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure the cheese melts smoothly. Stir in the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The soup will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • Ladle into bowls and serve warm, garnished with more pepper and Parmesan cheese.
  • Enjoy!
