# Mom’s Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (VIDEO)

Mom’s creamy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo has been a family favorite for years. Classic Chicken Alfredo is a feel good comfort food – so creamy but light!

Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo with Creamy Sauce

Mom learned how to make this “Pollo Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo” in culinary school. She made it for us when we were kids and we were crazy about it. Now I make the same alfredo recipe for my family. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods. Watch the video tutorial and learn how to make chicken alfredo.

## Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

## Ingredients for Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo:

We usually use chicken breast but chicken tenders would work well if that is what you have on hand.

Fettuccini is the pasta of choice here but we’ve been known to swap with angel hair or vermicelli. You can use a variety of pastas. P.S. sometimes we sneak in the full pound of pasta when feeding a crowd.

## Substitute for Half and Half?

This recipe calls for half and half, but you can substitute with equal parts of milk and heavy whipping cream. The half and half thickens as it simmers and even more as it rests. If you prefer a creamier or thicker sauce, you can use heavy whipping cream instead.

Ingredients for Chicken alfredo with chicken breast, mushrooms, half and half, fettuccine noodles

## How to Make Chicken Alfredo (Video below):

1. Cook fettuccini in a large pot of salted water (4 qts water with 1 Tbsp salt,) according to package instructions then drain and set aside.

2. Meanwhile, thinly slice chicken breast into strips and season all over with salt and pepper. In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium/high heat and saute chicken until light golden and cooked through (5 min). Remove chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm.

4. Add half-n-half and simmer over medium/high heat 8-10 min, or until just beginning to thicken. Add chicken back to pan, along with 1/4 cup parsley and season sauce to taste (1/2 to 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper).

5. Add cooked pasta and stir to combine. Heat another minute until warmed through then turn off the heat, cover and let pasta rest 10-15 minutes then stir to combine and serve garnished with more parsley.

After the pasta rests, you will have a creamy but light Alfredo sauce that coats the noodles perfectly.

This is definitely a feel good chicken fettuccini alfredo. It’s so creamy and satisfying, but light! Since it isn’t heavy-cream based, it fills you up without the guilt 🙂 I can’t even count how many times my Mom made this growing up. I hope this becomes a go-to pasta recipe for you as well!

If ALFREDO where is the cheese. I would imagine without the cheese it would lose the flavor and basically be white sauce salted?

  Hi Leslie! This is not a traditional Alfredo recipe, I explain more above in the blog post about where this recipe comes from. Feel free to add cheese. Many of my viewers have added cheese to this recipe.

Very bland. There is so much I could have done differently with this recipe. I made this for my husband and we were both let down. With the prices of food now a days, I’m annoyed I wasted my money on this recipe.

  Hi Ellie, I’m sorry to hear that. Did you possibly add too much pasta or not enough salt? Those are too common culprits of food being bland.
