In this episode we make the the American classic staple Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The Americanized version is not exactly traditional Italian Fettuccine Alfredo, but more of a Fake version....so we dubbed it FAKE Fettuccine Alfredo. It may not be traditional, but it sure is delicious!
Ingredients:
1 lb fettuccine noodles
1 lb chicken thighs (breasts would work too)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
Corn Starch
Butter
Heavy Cream
1/2 brick of cream cheese
freshly grated parmesan cheese
chopped broccoli
parsley for garnish
Directions:
Boil 4 - 6 quarts water and salt the heck out of it
Bring water to a boil and cook your pasta to al dente according to package directions
season your chicken with salt, pepper & garlic, then dredge in corn starch until lightly coated
In a cast iron pan, on medium high heat, cook your chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and around 170 - 180 degrees internal temp, set aside
Put 1 stick of butter in pan, until melted, then add garlic, cook until fragrant then stir into butter
Add 1 cup heavy cream and half stick of cream cheese, stir until melted then simmer until sauce has thickened to your liking
add 1 cup parmesan cheese and stir until melted, then stir in broccoli and let simmer for another few minutes
Add drained, cooked pasta to sauce and mix until pasta is coated.
Plate your pasta, add a sliced chicken thigh on top and top with some parsley and more parmesan cheese for garnish
