One Pot Chicken Alfredo Pasta

This One Pot Chicken Alfredo Pasta is creamy, cheesy, and irresistibly simple. Juicy chicken is sautéed with garlic and then simmered together with pasta, chicken broth, cream, and cheese. Everything cooks in one pot, infusing the pasta with deep flavor and minimizing cleanup. Finished with generous handfuls of Parmesan and Asiago, it's a weeknight favorite the whole family will love.

Ingredients

2 - chicken breasts
1 tablespoon - olive oil
4 cloves - garlic
1 cup - chicken broth
1 cup - heavy cream
1 cup - water
½ pound - pasta
⅛ - Salt
⅛ - Black pepper
½ teaspoon - garlic powder
½ teaspoon - onion powder
1 cup - Parmesan cheese
½ cup - Asiago cheese

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cook chicken until browned on all sides, about 5–6 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add chicken broth, heavy cream, and water. Stir to combine.
Add the pasta and ensure it’s mostly covered with liquid. Add a splash more water if needed.
Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid has reduced, about 10–12 minutes.
Stir in Parmesan and Asiago cheeses until melted and creamy.
Serve immediately, topped with more cheese if desired.
