Ingredients Needed:

• 4 ounces butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp red pepper chili flakes
• 8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

How To Make Angry Alfredo with Chicken?

1. Make the Spicy Alfredo Sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, making sure it doesn’t brown. Add heavy cream and heat until it starts bubbling. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low and mix in garlic powder and red pepper flakes.
2. Cook the Chicken: Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
3. Assemble & Broil: Preheat oven to broil. Stir the chicken into the spicy Alfredo sauce and transfer to a 1-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Place under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips:

• Use room temperature ingredients: Cold butter or cream can make the sauce separate. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cooking for a smooth, creamy sauce.
• Don’t overcook the chicken: Cooking the chicken too long will make it dry. Use a meat thermometer and remove it from the heat when it reaches 165°F for the juiciest texture.
• Stir the sauce constantly: Keep stirring while adding Parmesan to avoid lumps and to help the cheese melt evenly into the sauce.
• Broil carefully: The cheese can burn quickly under the broiler. Keep an eye on it and remove the dish as soon as the cheese turns golden brown.
• Serve immediately: Alfredo sauce thickens as it cools. Serve the dish right away while it’s hot and creamy for the best texture.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the leftover Angry Alfredo with Chicken cool to room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Heat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often. Add a little milk or cream to keep the sauce smooth. Cook until warmed through, then serve immediately.
