Today’s recipe combines tender, garlic butter chicken with a rich and creamy Ricotta Alfredo pasta. It’s an easy, comforting meal that feels like a restaurant experience right at home. Perfect for family dinners or impressing your guests!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the ricotta and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth. Add Italian seasoning and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and add it directly into the sauce. Toss well to coat.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, mix gently with the pasta and sauce, and heat through for a minute or two.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.

4 Tips for Perfect Results:

  1. Pound the chicken lightly before slicing to ensure even cooking and tender bites.
  2. Use fresh garlic for the best, most aromatic flavor.
  3. Reserve some pasta water to thin out the sauce if it gets too thick.
  4. Don’t overcook the chicken — remove it from the pan once it’s just done to keep it juicy.

Conclusion:

  • This Garlic Butter Chicken with Creamy Ricotta Alfredo Pasta is pure comfort on a plate. With its rich flavors and luxurious texture, it’s sure to become a favorite in your home. Serve it with a simple green salad or garlic bread for a complete, mouthwatering meal. Enjoy every bite!
