Ingredients

  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally
  • 2 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1-pound box fettuccine cooked and drained

Instructions

  • Melt your butter in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk together the flour and Italian seasoning in a small shallow dish. Dip each piece of chicken in the flour mixture and then transfer to the pan. Cook your chicken for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are no longer pink in the middle and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and add the heavy cream and grated cheese. Whisk the cream and cheese together over medium heat until thickened, which should take about 5 minutes.
  • Fold in the fettuccine until it is evenly coated in the alfredo sauce.
  • Top your fettuccine alfredo with the chicken, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure the flour is fully incorporated with the butter to ensure a smooth and creamy sauce. Dry pockets of flour will create lumps in your sauce.
  • You can cut down on your prep/ cook time by using precooked grilled chicken strips or shredded chicken. Simply fold your chicken into the dish when you add the sauce to the noodles.
  • If you only have unsalted butter then you will want to add a teaspoon of salt to the pan once your butter is fully melted.
  • You can make your own Italian seasoning by combining equal parts onion powder, garlic powder, basil, thyme, and oregano.
  • Store your leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat them in the microwave for about a minute, or until warm. Stop the microwave halfway through to give the alfredo a stir.
