How to pan fry the chicken breast
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. While the frying oil is heating up, cut the chicken into strips.
When your oil is just starting to bubble and slightly smoke it is time to add the chicken breast. Make sure your oil doesn't get to hot or you will burn the chicken. It should be just lightly sizzling in the pan as it is frying.
Fry on medium heat for about four to six minutes on each side. Check the chicken with a meat thermometer to make sure it is thoroughly cooked. Chicken is cooked at an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
How to make Homemade Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce
You can make the sauce in the same skillet that you used to fry the chicken. Deglaze the pan by scraping any excess frying drippings from the pan. Add in some butter and garlic. Let the butter melt and then add in heavy cream. Whisk the heavy cream until it begins to gently bubble. Add in the grated parmesan cheese and mix it all together until it is has melted.
Toss in the noodles and the chicken until it is evenly combined. Add fresh cherry tomatoes for serving. Garnish with fresh garden herbs if you have any on hand.
Why choose Farm Raised Chicken?
We raise the chickens right here on our farm out on pasture. I love knowing exactly how my food is being raised and being apart of every step of the process. When the chickens are ready for butcher we take them to a local family run butcher shop to be processed.
Sourcing food direct from the farmer allows you to ask questions and to be informed about your food choices.
I can make all my favorite meals with wholesome ingredients to ensure they are healthy and nourishing to my body.
