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 Is Finally Testing Spicy Chick-n-Strips — But There’s a Catch

Chick-fil-A’s Chick-n-Strips are already one of the leaner fast food tender options — made with whole chicken breast pieces and fried in refined peanut oil, which is lower in saturated fat than the oils used at many competing chains. The spicy version adds a blend of peppers without significantly changing the calorie or fat profile, making it a comparable nutritional choice to the original. Ordering a three-count with a fruit cup and a water is one of the most balanced fast food meals available in the tender format — and still gives you the full experience of the new spicy strip if you’re lucky enough to be near a test location.

Caramelizing onions low and slow preserves more of their naturally occurring quercetin—an antioxidant compound linked to anti-inflammatory benefits—than high-heat cooking.
