Garlic Herb Chicken Alfredo is a creamy, garlicky, herby, and soul-satisfyingly rich pasta dish that features succulent chicken thighs and a velvety Alfredo sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 250g linguine or fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken back in, spooning butter over top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  5. For Alfredo, melt butter in a saucepan, sauté garlic briefly, then add cream. Simmer 3–4 minutes, then stir in Parmesan until smooth.
  6. Toss pasta in Alfredo sauce until fully coated.
  7. Plate pasta alongside chicken and drizzle any leftover garlic butter from skillet over everything. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Pair with roasted broccoli or sautéed green beans.
  • Serve with garlic bread or a crisp romaine salad.
  • Add chili flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Don’t overcook the chicken, keep it juicy by covering to rest.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan melts smoother and richer.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta for a healthy alternative.
