Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- In a large pot over medium high heat, brown chicken pieces in olive oil.
- Once browned, remove from pan and set aside. Chicken just needs to be browned, not cooked through as it will continue cooking later.
- Add butter to pan and sauté mushroom until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Season mushroom with additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Add minced garlic to pan and sauté for additional 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer; use chicken broth to deglaze the pan by scraping up the flavorful brown bits.
- Stir in heavy cream and uncooked pasta.
- Once the entire mixture is simmering, cover and reduce heat to low.
- Cook covered for 15-18 minutes, just until pasta is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese and top with fresh parsley.
- Alfredo sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
