CALORIES IN OLIVE GARDEN CHICKEN ALFREDO RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
• Add olive oil to a cast-iron grill pan over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter to hot pan, then quickly add chicken breasts to the pan, seasoning with 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.

• Whisk flour into butter, stirring until no chunks remain. Slowly whisk in cream.
• Continue to cook just until sauce is steaming and slightly thickened. Whisk 1/2 cup Parmesan into sauce, stirring until smooth. Remove pan from heat and cover until ready to serve.
• To serve, place pasta in a serving bowl or on plates. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with sauce. Garnish with parsley and top with additional Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package and drain well. Heat the olive oil in a grill pan over a high heat.  Add 2 tablespoons of the butter, then the chicken breasts, seasoning them with 1 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Cook the chicken breasts until golden on one side, then turn over.  Cover the pan and lower the heat to medium.

Melt the rest of the butter in a deep-sided skillet over a medium heat.  Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Season with the rest of the salt and pepper. Carefully whisk the flour into the butter, stirring well until smooth. Whisk the heavy cream in slowly. Continue to cook until the sauce is hot through and thickened slightly.  Whisk the parmesan cheese into sauce, stirring until smooth.  Put the pasta into serving bowls and top with the sliced chicken.
