Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp butter
Pasta
- 250 g fettuccine
Sauce
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the fettuccine. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Prepare honey butter chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drizzle the honey over the chicken and stir to coat evenly, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the chicken is glazed. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Make Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in grated parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine and honey butter chicken into the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve: Plate the Honey Butter Chicken Alfredo hot, optionally garnished with extra parmesan or chopped parsley.
Notes
- Use fresh parmesan cheese for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste if you prefer less sweetness.
- You can substitute fettuccine with any pasta like linguine or penne.
- For a richer sauce, add a little more heavy cream or butter.
