🍗 Ingredients

• fettuccine pasta

• salt
• black pepper
• Italian seasoning - if you don't have that at home, use oregano.
• olive oil
• butter
• garlic - freshly chopped
• all-purpose flour
• heavy cream or half and half - It turns out creamier with heavy cream but you can use half and half too

🔪 How to make it?

Here is an overview of how to make this homemade meal. The complete recipe with US and metric measurements is further below in the recipe card.

Step 1

Cook pasta as per packet instructions.

Chop garlic, keep aside.

Cut chicken horizontally into 2 halves, season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Cook chicken through, take out and keep aside.

In the same pan prepare the alfredo sauce.

Step 3

Coat cooked pasta with the alfredo sauce in the pan.

Slice cooked chicken and place over pasta.

🥣 Serving

This is a heavier comfort dinner meal so I recommend serving it with lightly cooked veggies and/or a light side dish salad.

I love my simple green lettuce salad with vinaigrette salad to balance the flavors of the chicken alfredo pasta.

Also, the french carrot salad, the beet salad, the cucumber salad, or the tomato basil salad are great with this alfredo fettucini recipe.

You can also serve roasted veggies as a side. Such as roasted balsamic brussels sprouts, roasted garlic asparagus, or roasted candied carrots.

🍱 Storing

You can store leftovers in an airtight container, pasta with the sauce and chicken, in your fridge for up to 2-3 days.

Reheat in the oven or a microwave.
