4 tablespoons butter
2 lb chicken thighs about 6-8 pieces, depends on the size - cut into 1 inch pieces
½ teaspoon coriander
2 teaspoon Italian seasoning or use 21 Salute Seasoning from Trader Joe's
salt & pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
4 cups chicken broth I like to use homemade chicken broth
2 cups heavy whipping cream
12 oz pasta I like to use penne pasta, uncooked
2 cups Parmesan cheese freshly grated
2 tablespoon parsley finely chopped

Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces, and season with Italian seasoning, coriander, salt & pepper.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add chicken (if using a smaller skillet cook in batches). Brown stirring few times, about 3-5 min. After add garlic and saute for 1 min.
Pour in chicken broth, heavy cream, and add uncooked pasta, bring it to a boil. Turn the heat to simmer, cover with a lid and simmer for 15-20 min, stirring few times.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and give it a taste, adjust seasonging, if needed season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces to ensure quick and even cooking.
Sauté the chicken in the pot first to develop flavor and create a nice sear on the outside. This step adds depth to the dish.
Choose the right pasta. Fettuccine or penne are classic choices for Chicken Alfredo. Add the pasta directly to the pot without cooking it separately.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and ensure even cooking.
Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together and ensure the pasta is perfectly coated in the creamy sauce.
