A quick and easy one-pot chicken Alfredo recipe that combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta for a comforting homemade dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chicken pieces and sauté for 5-7 minutes until cooked through and golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and milk, bring to a simmer. Add dry fettuccine, gently pressing it into the liquid as it softens. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes or until pasta is tender.
  5. Return cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly. Add a splash more milk if sauce is too thick.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
  7. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use whole milk for best creaminess; substitute 2% or plant-based milk if preferred. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese prevents grainy sauce. Stir frequently during pasta cooking to prevent sticking. Let sauce sit off heat for a couple of minutes to thicken if needed. Do not overcrowd pan when cooking chicken to ensure browning. Adjust seasoning gradually due to salty broth and cheese.
