One of Domino's most beloved menu items beyond their famous pizza is the Chicken Alfredo. This creamy pasta dish combines tender chicken breast, rich Alfredo sauce, and perfectly cooked penne pasta to create a hearty and satisfying meal.
2CupsCooked chicken breast, cubed (You can use pre-cooked, leftover, or a rotisserie chicken)
For the Alfredo Sauce:
2CupsHeavy cream
1CupFresh Parmesan cheese, grated
4TablespoonUnsalted butter
2Garlic cloves, minced
1/2TeaspoonSalt
1/4TeaspoonBlack pepper
Optional for Garnish:
Chopped basil or parsley
Instructions
Cook the penne pasta to al dente according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Once the sauce has thickened, add in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir the ingredients together until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
Incorporate the cooked chicken pieces into the sauce, ensuring they are evenly distributed and coated with the creamy sauce.Let them simmer together for a few minutes to meld the flavors and to make sure the chicken is heated through.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss gently to coat all the penne evenly with the Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little pasta water to adjust the consistency.
Once fully combined, transfer the Chicken Alfredo pasta to serving plates. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley if desired, and serve immediately for a delicious homemade meal.
