Indulge in a unique twist on classic Alfredo, blending creamy sauce with sweet pineapple for a dish that's both comforting and refreshing!

1

Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes.

2

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

5

Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

6

Add the drained pineapple and cooked chicken back to the skillet, mixing well to combine everything.

7

Finally, drain the fettuccine and toss it in the creamy pineapple chicken sauce until well coated. Cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8

Serve hot, garnished with extra parmesan if desired.
