(for those who love more creamy version, can add more butter, cheese, and milk. As I depend more on a healthy version without skipping the taste and flavor side, I used normally less of those butter and cheese)

PREPARATION

here is the video showing how to make Alfredo chicken pasta 

• Cook the pasta in boiled water along with salt and little oil for about 8 - 10 minutes or as per the instructions that were given on the package.
• When done, drain the excess water and set aside in a colander.
• Meanwhile, Heat butter in a pan and toss the cubed chicken (season with salt and pepper powder) until done. Transfer it to plate and set aside.
• In the same pan add olive oil and saute the thinly chopped garlic until raw smell goes off over a low flame. Do not burn the garlic. When done, Make the flame very low and then add cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Mix well. Cook till cheese is melted over a low flame.
•  Now add milk along with pepper powder, garlic powder, and salt. Combine well until it thickens to a saucy consistency.
• Then add the cooked chicken and cooked pasta. Gently combine well and simmer for 3 minutes. 
• Remove from fire and serve hot topped with some grated cheese, a pinch oregano, and parsley leaves.

NOTE: you can add mushroom instead of chicken for veggies. Can add chicken stock too along with the cooked chicken for the best ever taste. Here I used a combination of mozzarella and cream cheese. Instead, you can add cream cheese alone.
