Fettuccine Alfredo With Chicken Recipe

I'm a pasta lover and my absolute favorite pasta is creamy, cheesy fettuccine Alfredo. Be warned...this is not a light and healthy recipe, but totally indulgent and swoon worthy ðŸ˜‹.

I always order this in restaurants and because it's so quick and easy to prepare, I make it at home too. I urge you to use only full fat, fresh ingredients and prepare right before serving.


Fettuccine Alfredo is not one of those dishes that you can't make part of your weekly meal rotation because it's so rich. I recommend you make this recipe for a special occasion or when you crave something comforting, savory and cheesy. I have high hopes that you will love this dish as much as I do.

Tips and Bits

You can add shrimp or mushrooms to this dish instead of chicken.


Alfredo sauce doesn't reheat well, so it's best to eat it right away. If you must reheat, it's best to do on the stove on low heat.


Make sure the Parmesan is finely grated to allow for quick, even melting. Add more Parmesan on top if you like.
