Looking to amaze your family with an incredible meal? Here is one of my favorite recipes! Every time I make this recipe I feel like we are enjoying something that was made at the most amazing Italian restaurant. After making this dish a few times, you won’t be able to find a better Chicken Alfredo anywhere. A friend in college (who worked at a local Italian restaurant) gave me this recipe. He knew the recipe by heart since he had to make it fresh every time he had to go to work. This is a convenient meal to make since it does not require many ingredients. My family and I love this recipe and I know you and your family will too.
Start by cooking your chicken. I bake my chicken breasts in the oven. Once they are cooked, I cut them into strips and I set them aside. Next melt your butter in a pan.
Now add a 1/2 cup of the parmesan cheese to the butter to make a paste. You may want to pull the pan off the burner for a second while you make the paste so it does not get too hot.
Now add 1 pint of 1/2 and 1/2. You must keep stirring constantly to avoid burning the sauce. Now you can add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of parmesan cheese. You can also stir in the 1 teaspoon of garlic salt. Keep stirring over medium heat until the sauce starts to simmer.
Once it simmers, you can mix in your cooked chicken. Then continue to stir with the chicken breasts in the pan until the chicken is warm. Make sure you stir the whole time. Now you can serve over your favorite pasta.
