hey I’m John Cannell today on preppy kitchen we’re making a creamy delicious chicken alfredo so let’s get started first off grab a big pot we’re gonna fill it with water set it over medium high heat and don’t forget to Salt it nobody wants Bland unflavored pasta so add in at least a couple teaspoons I like to go heavy on mine while that comes to a boil we’re going to get our chicken started this creamy indulgent recipe calls for three cloves of garlic but that is an absolute floor like no less than three is how you should read it so when I make this up I’m gonna go with eight cloves I feel like that’s a good amount as long as the cloves are big enough if they’re small I would add some more this is so important because you have the cream you have the parmesan but you need to have like another flavor otherwise this is going to be very flat these are on the small side so I’m not even counting it’s just kind of like how it feels in my hand that’s kind of what you should do give them a smash remove the skin and we’re going to mince them up all right that’s all mixed up I went with a conservative nine cloves of garlic it doesn’t seem like that much in my mind it’s like a quarter of a cup of minced garlic freshly minced garlic do not use the canned stuff or the jar stuff no no we want a pound of chicken but like the garlic you can double the chicken it’s going to be super easy there’s a lot of sauce and pasta to go around so if you want more just add a couple more breasts and it’ll be totally fine you’ll just cook it in batches these are too thick I’m gonna slice them down the middle so they pan fry really easily this thickness really has to be finished in the oven in my opinion so you would get it nice and golden pop it into the oven let it come to 165 and then take it out but that’s a lot of work so let’s just slice it down the middle and we’ll have more flavor on the meat as well there we go nice make sure your knife is nice and sharp definitely give your hands a wash right now much better now we’re going to season this with some salt and pepper this I say three quarters of a teaspoon but I do not expect you to have a little teaspoon like this all right same with the pepper this man named Alfredo dileo had a wife she was pregnant she wasn’t feeling well and felt weak and he wanted to make her something that would be really nourishing but easy to digest so we made her a fettuccine dish with this fresh butter Parmesan sauce we’re having the Americanized version with the cream because the whole story that’s a separate video chickens prepped we’re going to add one tablespoon of butter because it’s delicious and two tablespoons of olive oil also delicious different burn rate you’re not going to singe the butter warm your butter and oil over medium high heat get that nice and hot the butter should be melted it’ll be sizzling away I’m going to cook this in two batches I don’t want to crab the chicken out it should be nice and golden on either side and cooked all the way through okay that looks good the butter is just taking on a little golden color in you go two at a time but I am going to tell you the story of how it became popular while it Cooks because this is too cute it’s like keeps getting cuter all right so Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks like were like the superstars of the silent film era and they were on their honeymoon in 1920 in Italy they came to Alfredo’s Restaurant they had his noodles they were obsessed it was delicious they gave them this gold-plated Fork got picked up by the press and they became like world famous noodles everyone wanted to have this Alfredo dish back in the States we want to have it we just don’t have the same ingredients that you have like fresh Italian cheese and butter and everything is like a little bit different there so we added the cream to like just kind of get a rich Vibe with what we could have at the time I think that’s super cute it’s like oh my wife oh I’m married this is like a very loving story for a loving hearty dish and if it’s all made up don’t tell me I want to believe this is all true I think it is depending on your cooktop and what medium high means to it you’ll be cooking for around seven minutes maybe a little bit less maybe a little bit more it totally depends once it’s nice and golden just flip it over and repeat I grew up cooking on natural gas and it’s a more gentle heat than propane propane is so hot it’s crazy to me my chicken’s golden it as promised I love all of these caramelized bits over here next filet and repeat [Music] my chicken’s done it smells amazing it’s time to add one pound of fettuccine to my boiling water keep an eye on this just give your pasta a swirl so it doesn’t stick together and while your pasta is cooking we’re gonna make this easy creamy delicious sauce today I’m using a nice store-bought fettuccine but if you want to go all out and make your own pasta click up here for my how to make pasta video it’s a really fun weekend project and it’s gonna be even more amazing because you made it I drained the oil from My Pan and I’m just going to give it a light wipe I want to keep some of the brown bits that’s where the flavor’s at if it got really blackened you can go ahead and wash it out that’s gonna be bitter not delicious into the pan we want one half a cup of butter 113 grams two cups of heavy cream 480 MLS all the cream and of course I’m gonna add all that delicious garlic there we go that’s the magic of the recipe in my humble opinion along with a good Parmesan cheese this will cook over medium heat and I’ll be stirring fairly frequently I don’t want anything to singe or burn so just her occasionally and we’re watching for that butter to melt just already it smells amazing this with the pasta and that chicken is so simple almost no ingredients but it’s beyond delicious the last bit of prep is to grate your parmesan cheese get a nice parmesan this is what you are tasting aside from the garlic so I would always recommend just using a nice wedge grate it on your own and if you can a microplane is going to be the best for this it’s like an angel cloud of cheese I’m using a scale because I want 90 grams or one cup and I don’t want to Mush all the cheese down to fit into a cup because I clearly want to add as much as possible it’s snowing cheese but that’s kind of snow all right let’s see how much cheese we have huh either weigh the cheese use your heart as a measurement or use a scale because this is definitely one cup and it’s only 40 grams so I’m not even halfway there what I remember this last time I made this uh two weeks ago it was just like a mountain of cheese because this Shredder creates so much fluff my Butter’s all melted I’m reducing this to a simmer very actually to like lowest of lows it’s the hottest cooktop I’m gonna cook this stirring frequently for about five minutes or until it thickens up we’re really just steaming off the useless water in this sauce I want all flavor I also want to make sure that the garlic is really just like beautifully cooking and losing some of the bite getting some more flavor and soaking all that cream with maximum garlic flavor okay is this 90 grams I’ll just be here grating cheese all day long but I won’t complain because I’ll be snacking them we did it we’re gonna season this with half a teaspoon of salt to start and half a teaspoon of cracked black pepper [Applause] stir that in we’re going to continue to simmer until it thickens up keep an eye on that Pasta Too it should be perfectly Al Dente not overcooked and one of the most important things of all is you need to reserve a cup of the pasta water because you know alfredo oh my gosh it’s silky and amazing it’s like the most luscious thing ever right after you mix the pasta in and then the pasta sucks up what little water was left and it becomes like a block of deliciousness but it loses that silky texture the pasta water is going to save you has tons of starch that’s seeped out of the pasta and it’ll loosen the mixture up and wake it back up right away okay it’s done it is firmly on the Al Dente side how I like it it’s not going to fall apart as promised I’m reserving one cup of this magical pasta water set that aside now we’re going to drain the pasta coincidentally my sauce is reduced it’s time to add the parmesan cheese so I’m just gonna gradually whisk it in over low heat so it becomes melty oh my gosh the smell this is like the best indulgent Comfort meal ever chicken soup gave me some Alfredo there we go another reason you really want to use a finely grated Parmesan is it melts immediately if you have like a big chunk or a couple big chunks hanging around and you’re heating the cream sauce it could break that wouldn’t be nice so this allows you to use like a really gentle heat and it saves you some time too just like that it’s all whisked in I’m taking this off heat and we’re gonna grab our pasta just before assembly slice the chicken breast up according to your desires [Music] now we’re adding our freshly cooked pasta right into the sauce you can give it a toss to coat as you go this is currently the boy’s favorite dinner by the way Lachlan and George will eat massive portions of this so it’s actually gonna be tonight’s dinner right now this sauce looks amazing it’s silky and liquid and just gorgeous but as soon as it sets up just get some pasta water it can help if you heat the pasta water up and it’s just gonna make everything silky and wake it right back up [Music] finished off with a Sprinkle of parsley and just like that it’s ready to enjoy what’s so magical about this is that aside from it being cheesy garlic creamy amazingness like just so delicious it feels light and almost refreshing it’s hard to believe but you’ve got to try this out and I hope you get a chance to make this recipe and if you like this video check out my pasta playlist
