This creamy, cheesy rigatoni dish with perfectly seared chicken is comfort food at its finest! The rich Alfredo sauce and tender chicken pieces come together beautifully for a hearty meal that’s sure to satisfy.
Ingredients
For the Pasta:
1 lb rigatoni pasta
Salt for boiling water
For the Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce:
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Cook the Pasta: Boil the rigatoni in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and slice into bite-sized pieces.
Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then gradually stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat. Add the sliced chicken and toss everything together until well combined.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
