Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken
Today is National Fettuccine Alfredo Day! Whaaa??? With that being said, I thought I’d share my recipe for this Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken. This sauce is smooth and creamy. I think the key to making this meal a step above this dish is to marinate the chicken! I simply marinate the chicken in Italian dressing. This give it a nice flavor that’s goes nicely with the Alfredo sauce and it’s not too overbearing. If you prefer shrimp in your Alfredo, those can be marinated as well.
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes + marinating time
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 stick of butter
1 pint of heavy cream
1/8 tsp. of nutmeg
2 cups of shredded cheese (I use a mix of mozzarella, Parmesan-Reggiano, Swiss)
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup of flour
3 tbs. of garlic powder
pepper
2 lbs. of chicken cut into bite sized pieces
1 lb. of cooked Fettuccine noodles
