Ingredients
- Chicken breast
- Olive oil
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Butter for sauce
- Fresh garlic minced
- All-purpose flour
- Milk
- Heavy cream
- Parmesan cheese block, grated
- Romano cheese block, grated
- Spaghetti noodles
- Water for boiling pasta
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Add a little olive oil, black pepper, and salt to the chicken breast.
- Mix evenly using a spatula or clean hands. Set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
- Add fresh garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add all-purpose flour and mix well, creating a roux. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly add milk while stirring to keep the cream from separating.
- Add heavy cream and stir.
- Grate Parmesan cheese (preferably from a block) and mix it in. Stir for a few seconds, then add grated Romano cheese.
- Continue stirring until all the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Let the sauce simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Cook the Pasta
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add spaghetti noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Avoid breaking the pasta; gently press it down as it softens to submerge it in water.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat a frying pan over high heat.
- Cook the chicken without flipping or touching it for 5–7 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 8–10 minutes until fully cooked.
Combine and Serve
- Toss the cooked pasta with the Alfredo sauce.
- Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top.
- Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
- Use Fresh Cheese: Grating Parmesan and Romano cheese from a block enhances flavor.
- Cook Pasta Al Dente: Follow package instructions for the perfect texture.
- Don’t Burn Garlic: Cook garlic gently for about 2 minutes to avoid bitterness.
- Simmer Sauce to Thicken: Allow 10–15 minutes for the sauce to reach a creamy consistency.
- Chicken Tip: Don’t flip the chicken too early—let it sear for 5–7 minutes on each side.
