I absolutely LOVE Olive Garden! My favorite meal is the grilled chicken alfredo.  I was thrilled when I found this recipe. I can't wait to try it. Enjoy this classic dish from the Olive Garden with this "copy cat" recipe.

Ingredients:

 •2 chicken breasts

•salt and pepper

•2 teaspoon olive oil

•8 ounces dry pasta

•2 cups heavy cream

•1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

•1/2 to 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

•1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush with oil and then season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Grill 5 to 7 minutes on the first side and then flip the chicken over and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes, or until cooked through.

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Prepare the Alfredo sauce by combining the cream and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Do not let the mixture come to a boil, but heat until small bubbles begin to form. Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk quickly. Add the garlic powder and continue to whisk. The sauce will thicken after a minute or two.

Cut the chicken breasts into strips. Serve by placing half the pasta on each plate, then topping it with sauce and a sliced chicken breast.
