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!

Papa Murphy’s Just Added a New Meaty Italian Pizza — And It’s Only Here Through June 7

Take-and-bake pizza is a great weeknight option because you control when it goes in the oven — meaning no waiting around for delivery and no temptation to eat when it’s still too hot. To lighten up a meaty pizza like this one, opting for Thin Crust cuts carbs and calories significantly, and loading a side salad alongside it means you’re getting vegetables and fiber in the same meal. Sticking to two slices and saving the rest for lunch the next day is one of the easiest portion strategies for pizza nights.

The Lost Vegetables Most Home Cooks Have Never Cooked

Many of the vegetables that have fallen out of mainstream use — including nettles, sorrel, celeriac, and sunchokes — have exceptional nutritional profiles that reflect their status as wild or minimally domesticated plants.

Sunchokes are one of the richest dietary sources of prebiotic inulin, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. The agricultural narrowing that removed these vegetables from mainstream availability also narrowed the nutritional diversity of the average diet in ways that are only now being fully appreciated.
