Description

A rich, creamy fusion of classic Alfredo and zesty basil pesto, all cooked in a single pot for maximum flavor and minimal cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sear cubed chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until golden brown.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping the bottom of the pot to release browned bits.

  5. Remove from heat and stir in basil pesto and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  6. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
