Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Additional chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with BackYard Blendz Original Green Seasoning, salt and black pepper.
- Marinate for 30 minutes
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Cook the Pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water, and set aside.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the Parmesan and cheddar cheeses until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine Pasta and Sauce:
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce.
- Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve:
- Add the sliced chicken on top of the pasta.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Chicken Alfredo with a hint of natural herbs of the green seasoning!

Cooking Tips

Seasoning in layers by adding salt and seasonings at different stages in cooking process
Incorporating fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or parsley at the end of cooking adds a burst of freshness and brightens up the entire dish.
A splash of vinegar or a squeeze of lemon or lime can balance and enhance the natural flavours of a dish.
Toasting spices and nuts in a dry pan before adding them to your recipes can intensify their flavors and add a new dimension of taste.
Allowing ingredients like onions, meat, and even vegetables to brown in the pan creates a rich, complex flavor foundation
