Creamy Garlic Butter Curry Alfredo Chicken with Crispy Bacon and Tender Broccoli

A rich and creamy fusion of Alfredo and curry, with crispy bacon and tender broccoli.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving 1 tablespoon of drippings in the skillet.
  3. Season diced chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and turmeric. Add to the skillet and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in curry powder and cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spice.
  6. Add heavy cream (if needed for sauce, and bring to a simmer). Stir in cooked pasta, chicken, and broccoli. Cook until broccoli is tender and sauce thickens.
  7. Serve topped with crispy bacon and extra black pepper if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Adjust curry powder to taste.
