Best Creamy Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine Recipe + Video
My Creamy Chicken Alfredo recipe creates a scrumptious Italian meal and everything cooks together! This alfredo pasta cooks in 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup Chardonnay (white wine)
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces uncooked fettuccine pasta or whatever pasta you prefer
- 4 ounces fresh grated Parmesan cheese about 2 cups
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- optional chopped fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat, add butter. Once butter is melted add chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add wine to skillet, use a rubber spatula to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add broth and cream. Stir to combine.
- Add uncooked pasta to skillet. Stir to combine and coat pasta in the sauce (the pasta will cook right in the sauce absorbing the sauce and becoming incredibly flavorful). Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover and cook 7-9 minutes until pasta is cooked al dente (with a bite to it). If you are using long pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, etc) you will need to stir every minute or so after 7 minutes to make sure the pasta is combined and cooking in the sauce.
- Once pasta is cooked al dente, remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. If necessary, add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley (or basil would be good too).
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
The sauce will thicken as it cools. If sauce gets too thick, you can add a splash of wine or chicken broth and give it a stir. It will loosen the sauce up.
If you are sensitive to alcohol, you can substitute white grape juice or chicken stock. But, I highly recommend using entwine Chardonnay.
