Garlic Butter Chicken Fettuccine in cheesy Parmesan

Ingredients:

12 oz fettuccine

2 tbsp olive oil

1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

6 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

4 oz cream cheese, softened

1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ to ½ cup reserved pasta water

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water before draining, then set the pasta aside.

Season the chicken with the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes until deeply golden with lightly crisp edges. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and 4 minced garlic cloves, stirring for about 1 minute until the garlic becomes fragrant and the chicken is coated in rich garlic butter. Transfer the chicken to a plate, keeping the garlic butter in the skillet.

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the cream cheese until completely smooth.

Gradually add the Parmesan, followed by the mozzarella, stirring continuously until the cheeses melt into a thick, glossy cream sauce. If needed, stir in a splash of the reserved pasta water until the sauce is silky while remaining rich enough to cling to the pasta.

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and gently toss for 2 to 3 minutes until every strand is completely coated in the creamy Parmesan sauce.

Spoon the creamy fettuccine onto serving plates and arrange the garlic butter chicken over the top or alongside the pasta. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the chicken, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately while the sauce is hot, creamy, and loaded with melted cheese.

**Irresistible French Onion Beef**

Hello dear friends! Today, we're bringing a taste of classic comfort right into your kitchens with a truly "Irresistible French Onion Beef." This recipe is wonderfully simple, packed with flavor, and perfect for a cozy meal. No fancy ingredients or complicated steps, just pure, heartwarming deliciousness!

This dish is a hug in a bowl, perfect for sharing with loved ones or enjoying as a satisfying meal all to yourself. We've kept it wonderfully straightforward and free of any alcohol, pork, or wine, making it a delightful choice for everyone.

**Yields:** 4-6 servings
**Prep time:** 15 minutes
**Cook time:** 1 hour 15 minutes

**What You'll Need:**

1.5 pounds beef chuck roast (ask your butcher to cut it into 1-inch cubes if needed)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 4 cups beef broth (low sodium is a great choice!)
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
* 4-6 slices of crusty bread (like a baguette or sourdough), cut into 1-inch thick pieces
* 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or a good melting Swiss cheese)
**Let's Get Cooking!**

**Brown the Beef:** Pat your beef cubes dry with paper towels. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, making sure not to crowd the pot. Brown the beef on all sides until nicely colored. Remove the beef to a plate.
2. **Sauté the Onions:** Reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onions to the same pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft, deeply golden brown, and caramelized. This is where all that lovely flavor comes from! Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. **Build the Flavor:** Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good stir. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. **Slow Cook to Perfection:** Cover the pot tightly and place it in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C). Let it cook for about 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and easily falls apart.
5. **Get Ready for Topping:** About 10-15 minutes before serving, remove the pot from the oven. Ladle the beef and onion mixture into individual oven-safe bowls or keep it in the main pot if your bowls are not oven-safe. Top each serving with a slice of crusty bread.
6. **Cheesy Goodness!** Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Gruyere cheese over the bread.
7. **Broil Until Bubbly:** Place the bowls (or the pot) back into the oven, under the broiler, for 2-3 minutes, watching very carefully, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is lightly toasted.
And there you have it! Your "Irresistible French Onion Beef" is ready to be enjoyed. Serve it piping hot and savor every comforting bite. We hope this brings a little extra warmth and deliciousness to your day!
