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.

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!

Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

Baby potatoes are naturally rich in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, and the boil-then-roast method uses significantly less oil than deep frying while still achieving a genuinely crispy exterior.

The Summer Drink: What You Put in the Glass Matters as Much as What’s on the Plate

Research on beverage consumption and dietary health consistently finds that the single most impactful change available to most people seeking to improve their dietary quality through beverage choices is replacing sweetened commercial beverages — soda, sweetened iced tea, fruit drinks — with unsweetened or minimally sweetened alternatives. The average American consumes approximately one hundred fifty calories per day from sweetened beverages — calories that provide no nutritional benefit and that research associates with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity independent of total calorie intake. The summer drinks described in this article — infused water, cold brew tea, homemade lemonade with controlled sweetness, shrubs, agua frescas — provide the sensory satisfaction and the cooling pleasure of summer drinking with a fraction of the added sugar and none of the artificial ingredients of their commercial alternatives.
