Chicken and Spinach Alfredo
Creamy Garlic Chicken Alfredo with Fresh Spinach
Ingredients:
12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season chicken slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring until cheese is melted and sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Add chopped spinach and cooked chicken to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until spinach wilts.
Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce until well coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.
