This creamy chicken alfredo is a favorite in my house because it saves so much time in the kitchen. By cooking the pasta directly in the sauce, you get a silky texture that is hard to beat, and the mushrooms add a lovely earthy flavor to the dish.

I love making this on busy weeknights when I want something indulgent but simple. Just keep an eye on the liquid levels as the pasta cooks to ensure the sauce stays nice and creamy.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fettuccine pasta
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
2
Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned, then add the mushrooms and cook until they soften.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
4
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
5
Add the fettuccine pasta to the pot, pushing it down so it is covered by the liquid.
6
Simmer for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
7
Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
8
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with fresh parsley on top.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If the sauce thickens too much after cooling, add a splash of milk or broth when reheating to bring back that creamy consistency.
