SIMPLE ONE-SKILLET CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA
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.

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:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality chicken, pasta, and cheese.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unappetizing.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and chicken, but not so thick that it is difficult to stir.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste until the dish is flavorful but not overpowering.
- Serve immediately. Chicken Alfredo is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become less creamy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
One-skillet chicken Alfredo pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is made with simple ingredients that are likely already in your pantry and refrigerator, and it can be on the table in under 30 minutes. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one-skillet chicken Alfredo pasta a try. You won't be disappointed!
