1/4 cup salted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 tablespoons cake flour
3 cups heavy cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated

Ingredients for the Alfredo

1-3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts, cubed
16 ounces angel hair pasta

Instructions

Cook your chicken
To start, heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Season your chicken with salt and pepper.
Then, add your meat to the heated frying pan and fry them for roughly 8-10 minutes or until it's fully cooked. The chicken should be beautifully browned on all sides.
Once cooked, drain the chicken on a paper towel to remove the excess oil.
1-3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 pounds of chicken breasts, cubed, Salt and pepper, to taste
Make your Alfredo sauce roux
In the same pan as you fried the chicken, add the butter and garlic and cook them over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the garlic has softened, whisk in the flour quickly.
Then, remove the pan from the heat. Slowly add the cream while whisking continuously. Don't add more cream until your current mixture is completely lump-free.

Finish your sauce
Once your cream is fully incorporated, place it back over medium-low heat and cook it until it thickens. Finally, add your seasoning ingredients and fold in the cheese.
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Cook the angel hair pasta
Bring a large pot of water to a boil with salt and some vegetable oil. Once boiling, add the angel hair pasta and cook it according to the package instructions.
Once cooked, drain it from the water.

Assemble your chicken Alfredo angel hair pasta
Finally, combine the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, and angel hair pasta in a large bowl or pot. Then serve it immediately with some extra grated parmesan cheese.

Notes

When cooking the chicken, always work in smaller batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. If you do add too much at once, the chicken won't properly cook or brown.

If you use fresh angel hair pasta, you only need to cook it for about 2 minutes. If you are using dry angel hair pasta, follow the package instructions. But, it takes roughly 4 minutes.
