Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
I could eat pasta every day of the week and if I didn’t have to worry about a waist-line, I would. As it is we likely eat pasta too often but it’s one meal I can be sure my kids will eat every last morsel. This Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is the most requested pasta meal in our house; even Hubs who isn’t much of a pasta fan gobbles this up.
The biggest draw to this recipe is that it’s fast and easy. With kids on the go throughout the week, I can make this up in less than 30 minutes and everyone has a belly full of energy, especially in preparation for high energy sports. If you want to cook this up for comfort food like me, that works too. Smirk.
Normally I would have more tasty pictures for you but I have hungry kids hovering over me hurrying my photography session along so you’ll just have to trust me on this one. Make this when you’re short on time and let me know what you think.
- 250g uncooked fettuccine (about half a package)
- 8 oz/250 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed (approx. 3 chicken breast)

We make this often, yet I don’t usually make my own sauce. I’ll be trying this!!
Mmm I think alfredo pastas have got to be my favourite! This looks like a delicious recipe Stacey!
That sounds tasty. I’m going to have to try that because I’m always looking for tasty and easy ways to use chicken. Thanks!
