Preparation

  • Boil fettuccine following the directions on the box.

Cooking

  • Once the Alfredo is at the desired consistency, add the cooked fettuccini and top it with sliced chicken. Stir until everything is well combined.

Serving

  • Serve and top with extra Parmesan cheese and some dried parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly for a safe and tasty meal. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of pasta water or extra cream to loosen it up. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
