Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine

Healthy Fact of the Day

Chicken Alfredo with fettuccine, when made with lean chicken breast and a balanced portion of creamy sauce, can be a satisfying and indulgent meal.

Ingredients

 

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

 

Instructions

 

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

     

  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into thin strips.

     

  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. Reduce the heat to low, then add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and butter. Stir until the sauce is smooth and heated through. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat it in the creamy Alfredo sauce.

  7. Top the fettuccine with the sliced chicken.

     

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

  9. Serve your Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine hot, for a rich and delicious meal.

 

This Chicken Alfredo with Fettuccine is a creamy and indulgent option for a special dinner. Enjoy the combination of tender chicken and silky Alfredo sauce!

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Chick-fil-A Just Added Mac & Cheese to Its Kids’ Meal Menu — And Parents Are Relieved

Mac and cheese is a kid-friendly comfort food, but pairing it with a more nutritious side makes the meal more balanced overall. The fruit cup or applesauce are the strongest choices from Chick-fil-A’s kids’ meal sides — both add fiber and natural sweetness without the added sodium of the fries or chips. Choosing milk or apple juice over a fountain drink keeps added sugar in check too. For kids who are skeptical of vegetables, sneaking in a request to add fruit on the side is a low-effort way to round out a mac-and-cheese-centered meal without a dinnertime battle.

The Produce You’re Storing Wrong

Studies on nutrient degradation in stored produce consistently find that improper storage conditions — particularly exposure to light, heat, and oxygen — accelerate the loss of heat-sensitive vitamins including vitamin C and folate. Leafy greens stored properly in a humid, cold environment retain significantly more of their nutritional value over the same storage period than those stored loosely or in warm conditions. The investment of a minute or two in proper produce storage at the time of purchase translates directly into higher nutritional value in the meals made from it — making storage a nutritional decision as much as a culinary one.

Chicken Diablo

Chicken breast is one of the leanest, highest-protein cuts available, and building the sauce from salsa and hot sauce rather than cream or butter keeps this dish remarkably light for how bold and satisfying it tastes. Hot sauce contains capsaicin, which is associated with a temporary metabolism boost and anti-inflammatory properties—so the heat is actually working in your favor.
