Equipment
- Large skillet or Dutch oven
- Tongs
- Serving spoon
- Pasta pot (optional, if not using pre-cooked pasta)
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 jar 24 oz Ragu Homestyle Sauce (or your favorite flavor)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta or your preferred pasta shape, cooked according to package directions (optional)
Instructions
Prep the Chicken Party:
- ● In a bowl, toss the chicken slices with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- ● Let this flavorful crew marinate for 5 minutes while you cook the pasta (if using) or get the rest of your ingredients ready.
Chicken Gets Golden:
- ● Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- ● Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate for a well-deserved rest.
Building the Sauce Symphony:
- ● Add the Ragu sauce and heavy cream to the pan, using your tongs to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom (those flavor bombs are precious!).
- ● Bring this mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Creating Creamy Magic:
- ● Reduce heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring that luscious mixture until the cheese is melted and the sauce is nice and creamy.
- ● Be careful not to overcook here, or the sauce might separate.
The Grand Finale:
- ● Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss it with the creamy Alfredo sauce. Stir in the chopped parsley, and then it’s time to plate!
- ● Serve this deliciousness immediately over cooked pasta, with extra Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top, if your heart desires.
Notes
The recipe calls for pre-cooked pasta for convenience, but feel free to cook your favorite pasta according to package directions if you prefer a fresh-out-of-the-pot experience.
