Ingredients:
– 8 oz fettuccine pasta
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp onion powder
– 1/2 tsp dried basil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the broth to simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the broth. Let the mixture simmer gently.
5. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and dried basil to the sauce. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
6. Slowly sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously to melt the cheese into the sauce and create a creamy consistency.
7. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss to coat the chicken with the sauce. Let everything simmer together for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
9. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
10. Serve the Cheesecake Factory Chicken Pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
