Lemon thyme chicken alfredo is such a simple, yummy take on the classic tossed over fresh fettuccine. The sauce was made from heavy cream, butter, half and half and lots of parmesan cheese. So this was a weeknight indulgence that was on the table in 30 minutes.

Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
First, get a large pot of water on to boil for the pasta.
step 2
While it comes to a boil, get out a big skillet with deep sides and heat the Olive Oil (1 dash) in it over medium high heat.
step 3
Add the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast (1 lb) and cook it through completely. While it cooks add the Garlic (2 cloves), Fresh Thyme (1 tsp), and Lemon (1/2) to make everything fragrant. Season it with Salt (1 pinch) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch). Remove to a plate and set aside.

Season it with Salt (1 pinch) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch). Remove to a plate and set aside.
step 4
Start on the sauce in the same pan. Turn the heat to medium-low and add Heavy Cream (1 1/2 cups), Half and Half (1/2 cup), Butter (3/4 cup) and Salt (1 pinch) and let it all meld together while you stir it. It should take about 3 minutes for the butter to melt and the sauce base to come together.
step 5
While it cooks, boil the fresh fettuccine. Salt the pasta water generously and let the Fettuccine (1.1 lb) cook in it for just a minute or two, until tender. Fresh pasta cooks really quickly. Drain it and set it aside for a minute.

step 6
The sauce should be done by this point. Turn the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan Cheese (2 cups) and remaining Heavy Cream (1/2 cup) until it all melds together.
step 7
Add the chicken and cooked fettuccine in next and toss it all together thoroughly for a minute on the low heat. This will let the fettuccine and chicken absorb the sauce.
