Ingredients
  

  • Cooked Chicken Breast = 2 cups diced or shredded
  • Pasta = 24 tablespoons 12 oz (penne or fettuccine)
  • Butter = 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic = 2 cloves minced
  • Heavy Cream = 1½ cups
  • Parmesan Cheese = 1 cup grated
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Parsley

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. The pot should be large enough to allow the pasta to move freely while cooking. Add a generous pinch of salt to the boiling water – this seasons the pasta from the inside out.
  2. Add your chosen pasta to the boiling water and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes, or according to package directions, until it reaches al dente texture. Al dente means the pasta should have a slight bite to it, not mushy.
  3. Drain the pasta in a colander, but don’t rinse it. The starch on the pasta helps the dominos alfredo sauce adhere better. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta cooking water before draining – you might need it later to adjust sauce consistency.
  4. If your chicken breast isn’t already cooked, season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add a little oil if needed. Cook the chicken breast for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into bite-sized pieces. The resting period allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and flavorful. Dice the chicken into uniform pieces so they distribute evenly throughout your domino’s chicken alfredo.
  6. If you’re using pre-cooked chicken, simply dice it into small pieces and set aside. Rotisserie chicken works wonderfully for this domino’s chicken alfredo recipe and saves significant preparation time.
  7. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Don’t let the butter brown – you want it melted and fragrant but not colored. The butter provides the rich foundation for your dominos alfredo sauce.
  8. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. The garlic should become fragrant but not brown, as burnt garlic will make the entire domino’s chicken alfredo recipe taste bitter.
  9. Slowly pour the heavy cream into the skillet while whisking continuously. Start with a thin stream and gradually increase the flow while whisking. This prevents the cream from separating and ensures a smooth dominos alfredo sauce.
  10. Let the cream mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, whisking occasionally. The sauce should start to thicken slightly and coat the back of a spoon. Don’t let it boil vigorously, as this can cause the cream to curdle.
  11. Reduce the heat to low before adding the cheese. This is crucial for preventing the cheese from clumping or becoming stringy in your domino’s chicken alfredo recipe.
  12. Add the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, about ¼ cup at a time, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon. Wait for each addition to melt completely before adding more cheese. This patience ensures a silky smooth dominos alfredo sauce.
  13. Continue stirring until the sauce becomes thick and creamy. It should coat the spoon heavily and have a glossy appearance. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed, remembering that Parmesan is already quite salty.
  14. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the alfredo sauce first. Using tongs, toss the pasta in the sauce until every piece is well coated. The pasta should be completely enveloped in the creamy dominos alfredo sauce.
  15. Add the diced chicken pieces to the skillet and gently fold them into the pasta and sauce mixture. Be gentle to avoid breaking up the chicken pieces, but ensure they’re evenly distributed throughout your domino’s chicken alfredo.
  16. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it. If it’s too thin, let it simmer for another minute or two to reduce and thicken.
  17. Transfer the domino’s chicken alfredo to serving bowls immediately while it’s hot. The sauce continues to thicken as it cools, so serve promptly for the best texture and temperature.
  18. Garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley if desired. The bright green color adds visual appeal and a fresh herb note that complements the rich domino’s chicken alfredo recipe beautifully.
  19. Serve with additional grated Parmesan cheese on the side for those who want extra cheesy goodness. A side of garlic bread or Caesar salad makes this meal complete.

Notes

Store leftover domino’s chicken alfredo in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. When reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to restore the sauce’s creamy consistency, as alfredo sauce tends to thicken when cold. Reheat gently over low heat or in the microwave at 50% power.
