5 ingredients is all that is needed for this crowd pleaser. Homemade Alfredo sauce is the simplest, most delicious pasta sauce recipe you'll ever make.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta or noodles of your choice then cook until al dente (usually 9-12 minutes). Reserve half a cup of pasta water and drain.
Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a chopping board and carefully slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create two thin cutlets.
Drizzle each piece of chicken with olive oil then season generously on both sides with 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat then add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Melt the butter in the same pan until foamy. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds - 1 minute).
Pour in the cream and herbs/seasoning then allow to come to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cream has reduced slightly.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and allow to melt/cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
Season to taste with salt and pepper then combine with sliced chicken, cooked pasta and a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water.
