    🍗 Ingredients

    • fettuccine pasta
    • boneless chicken breast
    • 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
    • broth - vegetable or chicken broth
    • parmesan - grated. Use Italian Parmigiano Reggiano for the best gourmet version of this dish.
    • parsley - to garnish, fresh or dried

    🔪 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.

    cook pasta and slice chicken in half

    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.

    coat pasta with alfredo sauce and spread sliced cooked chicken over that

    🥣 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.

    💭 FAQs

    How to season this fettuccini alfredo pasta further?

    You can change the flavors of the dish by adding any of the following seasonings instead of the Italian seasoning: Herbes de Provence (french touch), Cajun seasoning, Sazon seasoning (Latin flavors).

    Can I use rotisserie chicken?

    Yes! To save time, you can use rotisserie chicken. In that case, skip the step with the chicken in the recipe. Serve up the fettuccine with sauce and rotisserie chicken.
