🍝 Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken & Linguine Alfredo

🧾 Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts (sliced or cubed)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1–2 tbsp oil or butter

For the pasta:

  • 250g linguine (or fettuccine)
  • Salted water for boiling

For Alfredo sauce:

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4–5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Parsley for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook pasta

Boil linguine in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook chicken

Heat oil/butter in a pan. Season chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

3. Make garlic butter base

In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (don’t burn it).

4. Make Alfredo sauce

Add cream and simmer gently. Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Add pepper and seasoning.

5. Combine everything

Add chicken back in, then toss in cooked linguine. Mix until fully coated.

6. Serve

Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.


🔥 Tips for best results

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan (melts better)
  • Don’t boil the cream—keep it at a gentle simmer
  • Add a splash of pasta water if sauce gets too thick
  • For extra richness, add a little cream cheese

✔️ Bottom line

This is a classic creamy Alfredo pasta upgraded with garlic butter chicken—rich, filling, and very restaurant-style at home.

If you want, I can also make:

  • a spicy version (Cajun Alfredo)
  • a low-calorie lighter version
  • or a one-pan quick 20-minute version
