Ingredients

  • 6 ounces block cream cheese
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 1 pint heavy whipping cream
  • 6 ounces parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breast into, bite sized pieces. Saute with 2 tablespoons butter and garlic on medium low heat until fully cooked and set to the side.
  • Start cooking your pasta according to the package.
  • While pasta is cooking it is time to start making your sauce.
  • Melt butter and cream cheese in a sauce pan over medium heat. The cream cheese might look a bit strange, but stir it till you have it as smooth as you can get it.
  • Pour in the whipping cream and turn the heat to medium-high.
  • Whisk together until butter and cream have combined and until the sauce bubbles slightly.
  • Add Parmesan cheese and garlic powder and stir until everything is mixed well. Turn off the heat, sauce will thicken as it cools a little.
  • Drain your pasta and add in cooked chicken and alfredo sauce and mix well.
