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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure to measure out all of your ingredients and chop any vegetables. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling while you're cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or pot: You'll need a large skillet or pot to cook the chicken and sauce. If you don't have one, you can use a Dutch oven.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, which will take about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: The Alfredo sauce is what makes this dish so creamy and delicious. Be sure to use a good quality sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese at the end: Adding the Parmesan cheese at the end will help to prevent it from clumping together.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to reheat it thoroughly before serving.

Conclusion:

One-pot chicken Alfredo is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
