Today, we'll teach you a simple and fantastic recipe for chicken Alfredo that only uses a single skillet from start to finish. Even better, this recipe uses an electric skillet, simplifying the process further by eliminating the need for a conventional heat source altogether.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in the electric skillet at 350°F. Add the chicken and sauté for 5 mins.
Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen up any caramelized bits.
Add the spaghetti noodles. Cover and simmer until the pasta has softened, about 15 minutes.
Lower the temperature to 250°F. Add the cream and the Parmesan and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
Serve immediately with the basil garnish (if using) and extra Parmesan cheese at the table.
Notes
If you don't have a 12" electric skillet or larger, you can use any other kind of shorter pasta like penne, rotini or simply break the spaghetti noodles in half when adding them to the skillet.
If using a skillet larger than 12", the broth may evaporate quicker, so keep an eye on the levels, adding more if needed.
