If you're a fan of creamy pasta dishes, then you'll love this Chicken and Bacon Alfredo recipe! This easy-to-follow recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy dinner at home. So, let's get started!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
First, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside.
Add the chicken to the same skillet and cook until it's no longer pink. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Let the cream simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it's melted and well combined.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Add the cooked bacon and chopped parsley to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
