Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Pasta
- 250 g fettuccine
Sauce
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare honey butter chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cubed chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drizzle honey over the chicken and stir quickly to coat and caramelize the honey, then remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in 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, toss to combine. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and gently mix everything until the pasta is well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped parsley or basil as garnish.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- If sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust honey quantity for desired sweetness.
