Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp butter (for cooking chicken)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pasta
- 250 g fettuccine
- Water and salt, for boiling pasta
Alfredo Sauce
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until al dente according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Honey Butter Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cubed chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drizzle honey over the chicken and stir well to coat evenly, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the honey forms a glaze. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine and Serve: Return the honey butter chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss well to combine all ingredients evenly. Heat through for 1-2 minutes before serving hot.
Notes
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer a sweeter glaze.
- For a richer sauce, add a bit more heavy cream or cheese.
- Fresh garlic can be substituted with garlic powder if needed, but fresh is preferred.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a green salad for a balanced meal.
