Skinny Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Recipes

SKINNY CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package directions in a large pot of boiling water. Drain.
• There are a few options for cooking the chicken.
• You can grill it for 6-8 minutes per side, pan fry it over medium heat for 6-8 minutes per side (use a bit of olive oil in the pan), or bake it at 375 degrees F for 20-30 minutes.
• The exact cook time will really depend on the thickness of your chicken so using a meat thermometer to judge when it's done (165 degrees F at the thickest part of the breast) is the best bet for perfectly cooked chicken.
• Another hands off option for cooked chicken is to make it earlier in the day in the slow cooker, or while you are making the pasta and Alfredo sauce in the Instant Pot.
• In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter.
• Add the garlic and cook, stirring for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
• Whisk in the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until it is lightly browned, about 1 minute.
• Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring until it is incorporated and smooth.
• Add the thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and parmesan and whisk continuously for 3-4 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Reduce the heat to a low simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and the chicken are ready.

CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.
