For the Garlic Butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced

For the Alfredo Sauce

🍽️ Instructions / Method
1. Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Make the Garlic Butter
In the same skillet, add butter and melt. Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Build the Alfredo Sauce
Pour in heavy cream. Add Parmesan cheese and cream cheese (if using). Whisk until smooth and thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add Chicken Back In
Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat every piece in the creamy sauce.
5. Add the Pasta
Add cooked linguine directly into the pan. Toss to coat completely in the sauce.
6. Serve Warm
Top with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired.
🛕 History
Alfredo sauce originated in early 1900s Rome, created by Alfredo di Lelio for his pregnant wife who needed a gentle, comforting dish. The creamy sauce became famous among American tourists, and the dish evolved into a richer, cheesier version in the U.S.
Adding garlic butter chicken and linguine is a modern twist—marrying Italian tradition with American comfort food indulgence.
