5 STAR REVIEW
Talk about comfort food! Mama Mia, you guys. We put our amazing homemade alfredo sauce to perfect use in this chicken alfredo recipe. You have 3 main components – wonderfully seasoned pan fried chicken with a crispy golden exterior, tender cooked pasta, and a velvety garlic and Parmesan cream sauce – all of which are delicious on their own and even more amazing once combined. Bonus, it looks and tastes like a gourmet meal, but it’s incredibly easy to make. Trust me, your entire family will love it!
Tips and Possible Variations
- Avoid pre-shredded cheese. For best results, use real Parmigiano-Reggiano right off the block. Pre-grated cheeses don’t melt properly, making your sauce grainy. And they simply don’t taste nearly as good.
- Don’t over-cook the chicken. Take the guesswork out of knowing when the chicken is done cooking by using an instant-read thermometer. Chicken is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees F (and keep in mind it will continue to cook a bit more as it rests.)
- The pasta. A long, flat noodle like Fettuccine is perfect here, providing more surface area for the sauce to cling to. Linguini is another great choice, or penne which is able to catch the sauce in its ridges. Honestly though, any pasta works.
- Have everything ready before you start: The list of ingredients is somewhat long, but it comes together fast – similar to a stir fry. So have everything prepped and ready to go before you start cooking.
- Sauce too thin? We think the consistency of the sauce is on point, but if you find it too thin, no worries. You can either simmer for a few extra minutes or take it off the heat and let it sit for a minute or two before tossing with the pasta. It will thicken up. Alternatively, if you find it too thick, you can stir in a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
- Want to lighten it up? Let’s not kid ourselves – this is a rich, creamy, high calorie meal. But you can cut back a little by using half-n-half or whole milk instead of the heavy whipping cream. Just keep in mind that the lower the fat content, the thinner the sauce.
Chicken Alfredo
Ingredients
For the Noodles
- 16 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
For the Chicken
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter, , cut into large cubes or slices
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 clove garlic, , minced
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Make the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions, usually 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain well. Set aside.
- Make the chicken: Season chicken breasts with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Once it’s shimmering, swirl the pan to evenly distribute. Add the chicken and leave it undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, until the bottom is golden-brown. Flip over and add in 1 tablespoon of butter between them, picking up the pan to give it a gentle swirl to distribute. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes (or an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.)
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 3 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Tent with foil while you prepare the sauce.
- Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same pan, over medium-low heat, add the butter and cream; whisk until butter has melted.
- Add in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; whisk until combined and smooth.
- Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese just until melted and the sauce is smooth. (If the sauce ends up too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, to thin it out.)
- Assemble: Take sauce off the heat and immediately toss with the cooked fettuccine noodles.
- Divide the pasta among serving bowls and top with a few slices of chicken. Garnish with parsley, more Parmesan, and black pepper if desired.

Nutritional information given is an automatic calculation and can vary based on the exact products you use and any changes you make to the recipe. If these numbers are very important to you, I would recommend calculating them yourself.

Proper Storage
- Make Ahead. Chicken Alfredo is ideally made and served right away, however the chicken can be cooked up to 1 day in advance. I don’t recommend making the sauce ahead of time.
- Leftovers. Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep up to 3 days.
- How to reheat Chicken Alfredo. Reheat on the stovetop, gently over low heat until it’s incorporated again, keeping in mind the sauce will probably separate.
What Goes with Chicken Alfredo?
With chicken, pasta, and a cream sauce, this is high calorie, indulgent, and filling! But the following are great Alfredo side dishes:
- Homemade garlic bread (carbs on carbs on carbs, oh my!)
- Simple side salad
- Cucumber Tomato Salad
- Roasted Asparagus

I hope you love this delicious and easy recipe – be sure to give it a review below! Also don’t forget to follow Belly Full on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube!
Very easy to make, coming from someone who is a very amateur cook! Chicken has always been hard for me to get right without over or undercooking it, and this recipe makes it super easy and it comes out very juicy!
Absolute success! It was a totally new taste for us, but All 4 children – even the younger a most difficult ones – loved it. So did the dog!
Unexpectedly grandma – who watched suspiciously the preparation – loved it too!
This recipe was great! I didn’t measure my seasonings and tweaked it a little but I’ve never made Alfredo and this came out wonderful! Thanks so much!
This recipe came out to perfection. Never been able to master the art of cooking juicy chicken like that and it was delicious. My whole family loved it! Will definitely make it again in the future and I’m not even a big fan of chicken! Thank you for sharing.
So happy I came across this delicious recipe, so easy to follow! Thank you for sharing. My family loved it!
I love me some chicken alfredo! Although it used to be my favorite dish since my teen years, it has been quite a few years since I have made it (which was a fail) and even more years since I have been to Olive Garden in which I only ordered this dish. I have to say that I absolutely enjoyed this recipe. I went ahead and added the half coup of reserved pasta water in the pasta and it leveled out my desired thickness perfectly! My chicken came out dark with a little crisp and the color and moistness was right on. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This was easy to make and so delicious! My go-to from now on!
OMG. THIS IS DELICIOUS.
I didn’t have fresh parm so I used Boars head machego cheese. Other than that I followed the recipe to a T. Use good butter. Also don’t be afraid to salt the noodle water and you can reduce the salt in the chicken or sauce. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE. I TRULY GIT A BELLYFUL .
HATS OFF TO TGE CREATOR.
Just made this and it’s delicious recipe. One of the best Alfredo ever! Better then most restaurant’s Alfredo.

Best recipe I’ve made in awhile. WHOLE FAMILY LOVED THIS RECIPE!
I am a cooking teacher and every time my students make this recipe, they all agree this is one of the best tasting dishes they have ever had!
This was great. My granddaughter has been making Alfredo for a while and I tole her this is the best she’s ever made!
This was such an easy and simple recipe, all things I had in my fridge and pantry. My kiddos and my husband and I gobbled it up! I’ll be making much more of this over the years. Thank you for the delicious recipe!
This was FANSTASTIC!!!! Thank you!
Amazing, Authentic and Easy! My family loved this recipe!

I loved this recipe. One of the best Alfredo recipes I’ve tried.
The recipe was so flavorful and was definitely a hit for the man of the house!
We loved this recipe. So simple to make and delicious. Better than I’ve had at restaurant.
I haven’t made this yet but I will next Sunday for my Dad and my husbands birthday celebration with family. This is the one I chose to make because it sounds delicious!
We loved it
Thank you
This was the best chicken Alfredo recipe I have ever made! The sauce is flavorful and has a great consistency…not thick and gloppy like some Alfredo turns out. This will now be my go-to recipe for now on. 5 stars!!!
Easy step by step recipe thank you
I made this for my family. The grandchildren couldn’t get enough! My youngest son was a plate licker and I know if he was with us now he would lick his plate for sure! He passed in 2012. Still every time I cook I think of him and his brother loving to eat and showing appreciation and I believe this recipe is a keeper for the family. Thank you for sharing
Super easy, delicious and creamy.
Super easy to make and absolutely delicious! My family loved it!
Amazingly simple!!
It was very yummy and pretty easy to make!
This is one the best things I’ve made in years!
I finally made this and it was wonderful. My boyfriend tried even though I used bucatini noodles. This is my go to afredo recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I make my own sourdough pasta so this was a perfect recipe for RV’ing! I might add some fresh broccoli or asparagus next time I make this. Very yummy! Thank You!
Great recipe. I personally like a little kick though so I add some “Slap Ya Mama” cajun seasonong,takes it to another level if you like spice. I also add some fresh broccoli.
I have a family of five.Husband and four teenage boys! Would you double this recipe? My son wants this for his b-day dinner.I am a bread maker so will be serving with fresh Italian bread.
I’ve never doubled this, but I think it would be okay. You’ll need a larger pan of course. Enjoy!
Family approved! This was my first attempt at making fettuccine Alfredo and it turned out great! Served it with salads and breadsticks and it was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
Very good. I added bacon and spinach. I also used cottage cheese whipped with almond milk to replace heavy cream for added protein.
ok i saw this recipe and it had 5 five stars and I entered I don’t like parmesan cheese but this was wonderful pretty picky and l=loved it
My family and I love this recipe so much.
Best recipe for chicken alfredo EVER! This is my go-to! Comes together so beautifully and quickly every single time. The whole family loves this dish!
even though i havent tried the dish, I love it!
My family truly loves this dish.
Kids wanted me to make this for a meal before a school dance. Been about 30 years since I made Alfredo. This recipe turned out phenomenal. Whole family loves it. Made it 3 times now. I even substituted shrimp for chicken. A must try!
This is so good and so easy! It’s my go-to Alfredo recipe.
Wow.
Personally not a favorite of Alfredo, but my husband and son LOVED it. I added some chopped mushrooms and a T of truffle oil to the mix.
Had a bite and yum, but so rich.
Yummy! I cut the garlic powder down to 1/3 top. for our tastes. It came out perfect.
My kids are very picky and they loved this meal. It’s so easy to make and I wouldn’t change a thing.
We haven’t even had dinner yet and I can tell this dish is the bomb! I’m 64 years old and have never made Alfredo. The fact that I’m lactose intolerant might have something to do with it. When I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. It was incredibly easy. I made mine in a non-stick electric skillet. I used 2 chicken breasts and they cooked up beautifully. The sauce came together so easily. It does make a lot so it’s perfect for larger families. My husband said his co-workers will be drooling over his lunch tomorrow. I followed the recipe to a tee. This one is a keeper. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Delicious! This comes so close to replicating a childhood favorite at a local place that unfortunately went out of business.
So easy, quick and delicious!
Amazing!
This was a great recipe I love the sauce, It would be nice if the recipe had a way to make the chicken more tender and juicy but maybe it was just me.
Comes out perfect every time
Made this tonight and it was SO yummy!!
Chicken Alfredo is a favorite meal of half my family and tonight this was voted the best recipe we’ve tried. I quadrupled the garlic. But otherwise stayed true to the recipe as written. This one will definitely be on rotation in our house.
Loved It
Perfect for the family
I loved everything about this. All I did was add in fresh pasta and it was amazing. I will definitely be adding this to our rotation!
One of my go-to recipes!
UNREAL! So so easy, and so so delicious
I love this recipe and I added broccoli.
My family raved over this recipe. I also put broccoli with it!!!
Easy and delicious!!
Wonderful quick meal! It was a hit for all in my family!
Best recipe EVER!!!
its so freaking delicious omg i just LOVE IT !!!!
Easy to make. Delicious. I made a mistake….I forgot to buy Parmesan cheese at the store, so I substituted with the Parmesan you shake from the bottle. Doable but definitely want to try the other cheese. I’m lactose intolerant, so this may kill me, jk. I thought it came out well
My new favorite
I also added some garlic powder and onion power to the my chicken, but it turned out tasty! My family enjoyed it.
I liked it! It was good. I will definitely make this again but with a little less amount of garlic. I guess I’m just not a garlic person?
Perfection! I used 16oz freshly made pasta (weight before boiling), and I used only 1/3 c heavy cream topped with table cream, because that is all I had. I did use a tiny bit of flour to thicken it a bit, but it did not need much. SO GOOD!
This was delicious! Thank you for this simple delicious recipe.
This recipe is fantastic! I make it at least twice a month.
My family loved this!
Our family LOVES this recipe, thank you!
Thank you, Amy, I love this recipe, I triple it! Make it for the family once a week with all fresh ingredients, I like knowing what is in my food
This chicken alfredo was flavorful, easy to make, and tasted delicious. A clear winner in my book plus I’ll never eat jar Alfredo sauce again.
Perfect!
good
Simple and delicious!!!
This is delicious! It’s easy to put together and tastes amazing,
Best Alfredo I’ve ever had. Delicious.
It is the best Alfredo I have ever tasted! Definitely a keeper!
This recipe is simple and delicious
I loved it. But the sauce was grainy. I used fresh right off the block cheese too so Idk what went wrong.
Not a big fan of chicken Alfredo but my daughter made and had me try it. It was very delicious. I would definitely eat it again.
It think it was grainy because you “broke” the sauce. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat off and THEN add the cheese and let it melt off the heat. It will still be plenty hot enough to melt the cheese- don’t worry. I always add the cheese last (in any dish) so it doesnt “break” and become grainy and yucky lol
The best recipe I have ever made. We barely finished dinner and everyone is asking when I am making it again!
Honestly this was so good!!! I was nervous before making this incase it was too salty but it was perfect !
This recipe is great, very simple to make and not to many ingredients. I have made it twice now the second time I cut the chicken into small strips put them in a bowl added the seasoning before I cooked it then added it to the sauce then spooned it over the noodles still great. Thank you for sharing.
Great recipe will be adding this to my portion control with empicslim.com
This is soooo good! It’s quick and easy to make and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. Yum!
Insanely delicious!
My wife and I love this Alfredo recipe. We don’t even bother with anything from a jar anymore. However, that being said, can I safely can and store this for future use so I don’t need to make the sauce everytime I want to use it? It would be nice to make one very large batch and separate it for future use
Hands down, the best alfredo recipe. My kid talked about how good this was all night. Quick, easy, and delicious!
What an easy delicious Alfredo. Made this with my three grandkids aged 14,12 and 8. We had a ball and it turned out delicious.
This recipe was both delicious and extremely easy!
It was so good. It was so easy to make and so filling. I added spinach and basil to the sauce and I feel that took it over the top. The chicken was the best I’ve ever tasted. I will def make this again
How did you add the spinach basil meaning sauce can you break it down for me plz?????
Great recipe
This recipe was amazing
Great recipe! I rarely follow a recipe and am happy with it. It was flavorful and I’ll be using this recipe again. Thank you for a simple tasty recipe
So delicious and simple. I’ve got EXTREMELY picky eaters her and they all cleaned their plates. But honestly what’s not to love about this dish?
someone used to make alfredo, and she wouldn’t give her secret recipe . i finally found one that is GREAT . THIS IS IT ! ! ! ! ! used 1/4 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning , and no garlic cloves because I didn’t have any and it was still great .
10/10 recommend! The family loves this recipe! Easy and so delicious! It is a huge hit every time! Please keep on making recipes!
Very flavorful. Definitely the best alfredo I’ve ever made. I used thinly sliced chicken breast because that’s what I had on hand. Highly recommend.
First time making Chicken Alfredo. I was amazed at how easy and delicious the recipe was. The chicken was tender and flavorful~
This recipe was really good! I followed it, and would do so again . Nothing to change, except only made 8oz pasta (only 2 of us) everything was delicious and we really liked it . we gave leftovers to our lucky friend across the street.
This was delicious. I made a couple of changes: I used a rotisserie chicken and also used 1/3 cup of chicken broth to the sauce and one 8oz block of Cream cheese to the sauce. Everyone loved it, it was so creamy! I gave the recipe to a guy that wants to cook it for his uncle.
My boyfriend and I love this! I’ve made it a handful of times and it comes out the same every single time. My question is, is there a way to make half of the recipe? It’s just the two of us and it makes so much. It’s not really good left over.
Thank you!
My husband just raved about this. I used gf fresh fettuccine, dairy free heavy whipping cream and plant based butter. He’s not gf or dairy free and he said it was probably the best chicken Alfredo he’s ever had.
I have made this dish following the recipe exactly and it comes out perfect every time! Very tasty.
I loved this recipe it tured out so good I did do one little extra step I added a block of cream cheese to the mix while cooking after adding my pasta and chicken I used about a cup and a half of noodle water to thin it out and after I mixed it all up it got just as creamy and I added some bacon pieces as a garnish and omg
The whole family LOVED it, including my very picky 10 year old. Husband said it was his favorite meal I’ve made ??
This recipe is amazing! We made sure to heavily season the chicken and then made the alfredo in that same pan. My boyfriend said it was the best Alfredo he’s ever had!
This was a hit with the whole family. I didn’t have fettuccine so I used the angel hair pasta I had on hand. I should have only used 1/2 of the box because it was way too much pasta for the amount of sauce. I ended up having to add a jar of store-bought sauce I had in the pantry, but it was still delicious. Next time I will use fettuccine. I used 2 very thick chicken breasts which I pounded down and 5 minutes per side was perfect. I will definitely be keeping this one in the regular rotation.
Great recipe! My family loves it!
Great
So delicious and easy, even my picky kids loved it. Thanks!
10/10 recipe – we loved it.
I could get in trouble with this recipe. It’s just delicious. As good or better than I’ve had in a while. Good flavor and really easy to do. Glad I tried it! Thanks
This was fantastic! I only added a bit of nutmeg to the sauce… my grandfather used to use it in his alfredo. Will definitely make this again!
Amazing taste and very straightforward recipe!!
Definitely SO much better than any store bought sauce! I did use prestressed/grated cheese (I whisked, A LOT! and avoided any lumpy or grainyness) so I can only imagine how much better it will be with fresh grated! The family loved it. I will have to make more than one batch next time!
Loved this recipe. I followed it exactly and it came out perfect. The whole family loved it and super easy to make.
OMG! Run, don’t walk. Make this recipe tonight. I’ve tried many different Chicken Alfredo recipes but haven’t found one I’ve loved until now. Easy to follow recipe with not many ingredients. Make sure to use fresh Parmesan. Perfect. I’ll definitely add this to my weeknight dinner rotation.
Thank you Amy. I am a terrible cook with almost no experience and I nailed this dish. It was delicious and gave me the confidence I need to become a better chef. Question: If I only want to make 3 servings instead of 6 – is it safe to cut all ingredients and cooking times in half?
You can cut the ingredients in half, but not sure about the time. It might still need the same amount of time to thicken properly. Just keep an eye on it.
you can half everything . it does take a little bit to begin to thicken the butter and cream mixture . don’t turn heat up ! just stir on low often ,you will know when it begins to get a little thicker consistency. cokk till u have it slightly thick then add the cheese and stir to melt . u CAN turn heat up a LITTLE but stay right there .
Love this recipe and the kids love it too
This recipe was soo good. Best Homemade alfredo I’ve tried!
The BEST chicken Alfredo! Seriously, I am not an alfredo fan, but my daughter is, so I have tried a couple other recipes. She liked them, but I wouldn’t eat much. But this one—I LOVED it, and so did my daughter! I mean, like totally restaurant quality- even better in my opinion. I made the recipe exactly as stated. No changes needed at all! Definitely grate your own parmesan cheese. Served with sautéed Broccoli. I threw out my other recipes- this is a keeper!
This was delicious, definitely making it again! Have you ever made and then frozen it?
Single Dad here trying to impress my girls. This recipe made me look like a hero.
Do I need to change anything if I’m doing a baked chicken alfredo?
I’ve never tried baking this recipe.
This recipe was great! My family said this is the best alfredo they ever had!!
Very good!
SOOOO YUMMYYYY
who says kids can’t cook? me and my sister did this by ourselves, and it took us about 20-40 minutes of teamwork, but this is definitely worth it!! the results are insanely good, i would for real make this again
Delicious and easy!
Oh, I made this for my youngest daughter’s birthday that loves chicken Alfredo, and it was definitely a hit!
I’m going to try this tonight using pre-made grilled chicken. Just going to sauté it a bit with the chicken ingredients! Can’t wait!
The absolute best chicken Alfredo oh my goodness!! My kids even loved it, definitely a hit recipe. Made it exactly as the recipe stated except I tripled the seasoning for the chicken because I made 3lbs of chicken. I don’t think 1lb would be enough, but we are big meat eaters in our family. Sharing this recipe with my family!
My family loves this dish! I sometimes make just the chicken breasts this way! So juicy and flavorful!
Huge winner with my family – easy and tasted great, we loved it. No changes. Will definitely make again.
Absolutely wonderful, whole family loved it and asked when I’d be making it again.
Me and my gf love this recipe however I always have a hard time getting the sauce to thicken up. I’m doing what the recipe says to do and I always have an issue
Jacob, when making the sauce you can try adding 1-2 TBSP flour or cornstarch to the butter before adding the cream. Just make sure to continually mix the flour and butter until well combined and continue to briskly whisk while pouring in the cream. The sauce should def thicken and if too thick use the pasta water to thin, as the recipe mentions. Good luck with your next batch!
This is the best chicken alfredo pasta I’ve ever made and will be using this recipe in the future! Thanks so much for sharing this restaurant quality delicious recipe!
This was THE MOST delicious Chicken Alfredo we’ve ever had anywhere..This is any easy to follow recipe and makes up tasting like a true gourmet dish. Thanks so much!
This dish is just FANTASTIC. No changes. I totally impressed my MIL which is hard to do, so my husband and I thank you! LOL.
This recipe was delicious
My family was impressed and said this was restaurant-quality. It was easy and I will definitely make it again
Loved this recipe! What is the best way to reheat?
Gonna make this and I’m adding mushrooms!
I want to add sliced red/yellow/green peppers – at what point would I add them? I’ve always thought I wouldn’t like alfredo since I dislike cheese but I really want to try your recipe!! Thanks so much!
I would add them after step 4 when you transfer the chicken to a plate, but before you make the sauce. Add a bit more olive oil to the pan and saute until tender, then transfer them to the plate with the chicken. Proceed with the written recipe.
This has become my go to for chicken Alfredo. It is PERFECT. I bake some broccoli & garlic bread & we’re set! 10/10 :) flavorful & easy.
Never made homemade Alfredo before this recipe was simple yet so delicious
So easy and it’s delicious! I’ll definitely make this again for my family.
Hands-down the most delicious and easiest Alfredo recipe! I will use it again and again.
Hands down, the best chicken Alfredo recipe I’ve tried. Very easy and quick. Thank you so much!!
This recipe was a hit. I sauteed some mushrooms and onions before adding everything else in the sauce recipe and ot blended just fine. I ended up adding about half a cup of the pasta water. We served it with roasted asparagus.
This was SO good!! I love to cook, but have never made white sauces kinds of pastas since I don’t really like them. However, this is extremely good and so tasty!!
Great and easy recipe!
Incredible recipe, but if you want to never worry about your left over sauce breaking…no joke! Add cream cheese. It is to die for!
This made for a quick and easy Anniversary Dinner! The recipe was delicious though simple! I’ll be making this again and again for my family. Thank you for such a great take on chicken Alfredo!
I loved the chicken Alfredo! I will NEVER use those bottled, store bought sauces again! This was easy to make and absolutely delicious!
Perfection!! I went for easier & shredded a grocery store roaster chicken for man & doubled the sauce recipe. The family was in love ? We had garlic bread with. There wasn’t room for anything else!
Thank you for this recipe! It was so simple and easy, and DELICIOUS!!
My family loved this. It came together very quickly and easily. Entering into our meal plan rotation
It was so delicious!! Perfect consistency!
Great recipe ! Thank you for sharing! My family loves when I make this meal!! Soooooo delicious and EASY!
This is my default chicken alfredo recipe. I add broccoli to mine, and it tastes amazing. I like that it has no onion or onion powder. I like onion, but let’s face it, seems like it is in every recipe. I make this frequently.
This was absolutely amazing! Not a spec left of anything on anybody’s plate.
Perfect ! It’s a new favorite!
This was great! Instead of olive oil with the butter to cook the chicken, I made bacon and cooked the chicken in the bacon fat. After the sauce was done I cut everything up and tossed it with the noodles in the sauce. Great recipe!
Tastes like Olive Garden! Simple to make and has lasted my husband and me 4 days. Leftovers taste just as delicious as day one! And I love how the chicken was seasoned. Yum, yum!
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
Hi Brenda! I do not recommend freezing this dish due to the high dairy. Once defrosted it tends to separate and get grainy.
I loved this recipie.
My favorite
Easy and elegant!
The recipe is so delicious!
This was excellent.
This is my all time favorite recipe I love it so much! I make it every other week! It’s so good!
You get a 10/10 rating from me on this one. The entire pot disappeared in record time. I added some broccoli to get veggies into my grandson…lol. He licked the plate… after his 3rd helping!
This was so delicious! Definitely putting this recipe in my favorites. Thank you Amy for sharing your fabulous recipe.
I am 16 years old and wanted to make this for my family. We all absolutely loved it! 10/10 would recommend trying! Its the best thing Ive ever cooked!
Love
My husband like Alfredo sauce and I made this for him and he thought I went to Olive Garden to get it. Amazing!
This was AMAZING!! For my picky child to eat not 1 but 3 bowls…well that says enough :)
This recipe was easy, and as delicious as it looks!! My husband and son both loved it, but asked could I use penne noodles next time (I used fettuccine) the sauce got in their beards,lol. ?
Amy that was THE BEST ever. I used half and half so it was much lighter and amazing. This is definitely a keeper and so easy. Thank you ?
I made this today and it was easy and delicious. After his first bite, my husband said this is so good. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
This was the best alfredo recipe I’ve ever used! My husband, my kids, and I really enjoyed it. I added some extra seasoning to my liking and used angel hair pasta instead, but overall I would give this a 10 out of 10.
I have never made chicken Alfredo before, it was so easy to make and my entire family loved it!
I literally just used this recipe today! It was easy peasy and my kids LOVED it!!! I will be making this more often!!
Is it ok to use a different pasta
Sure!
This was an absolute flavorful dish. I added a pinch of nutmeg to the alfredo sauce plus cooked broccoli. This will definitely be made again in the near future! Thank you
I made this with today, with some help from my friend’s 4th grade wanna be chef. It was so easy and definitely delicious. He had so much fun helping. It was perfect for four of us with plenty left over. Thank you so much for the recipe. It was our first time making Alfredo. Fabuloso!
It’s now a family favorite, Made it for friends also and they couldn’t believe an Alfredo sauce can be made without a thickener. They loved it.
I made this for the first time today and wow! I was blown away. I was skeptical at first because of how simple it seemed, but it really exceeded my expectations. The alfredo sauce is amazing. The chicken came out a little too salty but that’s probably my fault, I don’t measure seasonings lol. Anyways 5 STARS !
I loved this recipe so much very simple and my family enjoyed it…
Sooo good and so easy! This will be my go-to recipe!!!
This was easy and so so delicious – whole family are members of the “clean plate club” lol.
I just made your Easy and Amazing Chicken Alfredo recipe, it was fabulous! My mother-in-law is an extremely good cook and she was over for dinner. Me, well I’ll be 60 yrs old in another few years and I’m still average at best. My Mother-In-Law loved it. My somewhat picky husband, loved it and I did as well. I followed the directions given and it came out fantastic! Thank you so much for taking your time to help me put smiles on my families faces.
I added a squirt of fresh lemon.
Ohmmmmgeeee! This was so good! I served over steamed broccoli to keep it low-carb. The Italian seasonings on the chicken and in the sauce both added such good flavor. I was going to add some baby bella mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes, but didn’t want to invest the time in sautéing the mushrooms. This sauce was excellent!
I have ordered chicken Alfredo in Italian restaurants, but, this by far is THE best I have eaten and I MADE it!
Great recipe! And super easy to prepare!
This recipe is a keeper! Way better than Olive Garden.
Just made this tonight and it was delicious! My husband doesn’t much care for alfredo but he gobbled it up. This is a keeper!
My 12 year old has been wanting me to make C.A. since her last birthday. I resisted, never had or made C.A. before. Together we followed your recipe. I grilled the chicken she prepared the fettuccini and sauce. I was a smashing success. Husband even wished our daughter a happy birthday. Funny dad! Definitely will make this meal again. Thanks Amy.
Easy, fresh and tasty!
Love this recipe. Quick and easy. I used penne because that was all that I had. Instead of layering the ingredients, I added the chicken and noodles to the alfredo sauce. I also added some steamed broccoli to the dish.
Absolute perfection! We licked our plates clean!
Delicious! One of my favorites! Thank you.
Thank you! This was fairly easy for me and I am a beginner at cooking by scratch. It turned out great.
I have never before made homemade chicken Alfredo, decided to try it I found your recipe after looking for days, you made it so easy, and it’s a big hit in my house now, my husband was very pleased and said add this recipe to our weekly dinner ideas. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe I will definitely be making it again
Made this tonight following the directions (for the most part). I eye everything, but I think that I used about 2lbs of chicken; 6oz butter; about 3 cups cream; 2 cloves of garlic; 1.5 tsp Italian seasoning; 1.5 tsp granulated garlic; 3/4 tsp onion powder; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp ground black pepper; and 2 cups grated parm. It all came together quite nicely, although it took about 6-7 minutes to thicken. Super Easy and Very Simple. Will do again soon!
This recipe was delicious! I made it for dinner tonight and it was a huge hit! I accidentally forgot to add in the parmesan cheese to the sauce before mixing it with the noodles, so I added the reserved cup of pasta water to my frying pan and then added in the cheese, stirring until smooth, and then stirring it into the noodles and sauce. Will definitely add this to my favorite recipes!
I haven’t made chicken Alfredo in a minute but I tried this recipe the other night and got great compliments on it ! Love it
OMG! This recipe is one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth and my kids agree. Thank you!
I made this today it turned out great taste awesome
Great recipe! This was the start of a great dish for me that i have yet to find anyone who doesn’t love it. If you want to take this recipe to the next level, Slice a bell pepper and get some baby spinach to throw in. I add these in after step 6 and it take this recipe to an entire different world.
Wow! Can’t believe how good this is! My boyfriend is super picky and he said it tastes better than Olive Garden!
Hello from Sweden! Hubby and I made this tonight.
The family’s response to the question of “Will we be making this again?”
An almost unanimous “YES!” except for our 13 year old, who was too busy shoving it in his mouth to reply, lol!
We’ll take that as a yes, too, lol!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. The reviews are stellar. I’ll leave a review once made. Been looking for the perfect one. I’m thinking this is it.
This was the best chicken alfredo I’ve made – so easy and tons of flavor. The chicken was perfectly moist. Family LOVED it!
We loved it! My fellas are begging me to fix it again tomorrow night! Thanks for sharing
This recipe was very easy to make. My picky husband and sons both loved it. I will make this again.
I loved this recipe so much!
I made this for the homeless guy who stands outside of the 7-11. He said it was good.
I’m not a big fan of Alfredo but this recipe just changed that. Awesome sauce!
I think it might be a sin to eat something this creamy flavorful and hearty. The chicken is seasoned to perfection with Italian flavors bursting through. The Alfredo Sauce was perfection. Using freshly grated Parmesan is key. I fed my family this on a lazy Saturday now everyone will be sleeping after dinner and I will have a peaceful hour to myself. Thank you!!
This was AMAZING! Better than restaurant quality, no lie!
I look forward to using this recipe. I’m sure it will be great.
I made this for my family. They were wondering why I didn’t add flour to thicken the sauce, making me doing the process, but I put my trust in and kept going! Hell ya it was amazing! Everyone loved it!
My family loved this recipe so much! It was 5 star and the best I ever tasted. Thank you!
Seriously, the best Alfredo sauce I’ve ever had. I used half salted Irish cream butter and half salted Land O Lakes butter for the sauce. I also added about a cup of the pasta water, and I used freshly grated parmesan cheese from the deli. Came out PHENOMENAL.
Came out wonderfully delicious. This one’s a family nite keeper. It was quick and easy. I substituted the pasta for Shirataki plant based pasta for low carbs. It was super!!!
Family loved it!!
This recipe is amazing. very fattening but oh so delicious. I added a bit more garlic and broccoli.
I never leave reviews, but this recipe was simply amazing. I’ve made many different chicken Alfredo’s and none of them thickened up like they should nor did they have much flavor. My husband raved about this recipe and so did I. It thickened up beautifully and I only used 1 cup of grated Parmesan. The taste was phenomenal. This is my new & only go to chicken Alfredo recipe.
Just fantastic. Clean plates all around over here – my boys asked me to make it every week. HA!
Stay at home mom with 4 small kids and parents all living together! This recipe is my absolute favorite ever! Not just my favorite Alfredo recipe but my favorite recipe EVER!!! Even my older 2 kids love it. I love outback Alfredo…my go-to menu item. This tops even outback! Except that at outback I don’t have to cook it!! I have been making this every week I love it sooo much!
My whole family loves this recipe! I have to make it at least once a week now, which is no problem since it is fast and easy.
I’ve been using this recipe for years. The only thing I don’t add is the butter and it’s amazing. Although butter would probably be heavenly. My kids love this recipe and I can whip it up in a snap.
Followed it to a T. Only issues I ran across (and this would be true of ALL these alfredo recipes) is that it does NOT have the same consistency once it gets cold and has to be reheated! I thought I was being smart by making this ahead of time, fridging it, then pulling it out that evening to serve. It totally loses it’s velvety, creamy texture and the cheese separates slightly so you get oily (but still yummy) noodles with cheese. I won’t make that mistake again next time I’m preparing it for guests. :)
Hi Joy! Yep, this is actually mentioned in the article under proper storage. “Chicken Alfredo is ideally made and served right away, however the chicken can be cooked up to 1 day in advance. I don’t recommend making the sauce ahead of time.”
You can blend the sauce thinning it with a little milk to reach the smooth texture of the sauce again.
Fantastic recipe!! Clean plates over here.
Best Alfredo ever! My kids sucked it down. Husband loved it! I made a little extra sauce and about 2 pounds of chicken.
This recipe is incredibly easy to make and is delicious! I made it for the 1st time tonight and my husband loved it! Great for a large crowd. Just double it.
The best
Amy just an Update Our Team WON 47-0! I’m not taking all the Credit but a little YES, your Alfredo recipe contributed along with Great Coaching..
Made this recipe for our high school Football team. Coach wants this for them for every home game. You got 76 AWESOME reviews from our team.
This was an awesome meal! I airfryed my chicken. Easy peasy. Thank you belly full!
Fantastic recipe! Made as written. My entire family licked their plates clean LOL
This was insanely good!! Only thing I’d change is doubling the chicken. Maybe adding slightly more heavy cream and decreasing amount of parm. But all around super good!!
It was wonderful the best better then any restaurant we have had it at I am so happy with this recipe. My husband said it was the best he ever had
This was the best alfredo sauce I’ve made. We practically licked our bowls clean. LOL.
Hi Amy! Your Chicken Alfredo was so easy and delicious! Thank you for the tip about Melting the Parmesan cheese. I found a grated cheese at the specialty cheese area packaged by Sartori that was perfect!
BEST RECIPE EVER PLS MAKE IT IM BEGGING ALL OF YOU. if you are hesitant to use this one do it.
My boyfriend was in shock at how good it is! We both loved it!
Awesomeness
the sauce was extremely flavorful and delicious! The only thing I would change is coating the chicken in flour beforehand, that’s what I did and it turned out great!
This is absolutely delicious
An Awesome chicken Alfredo recipe. Much easier than other chicken Alfredo recipes I’ve tried, or created in the past. Five stars all the way, and thank you very much for posting it.
Great recipe! I would give it 10 starts if I could. Whole family loved it. Definitely a keeper.
I used half & half for this recipe and the sauce was amazing!! Will keep this one for sure!
This recipe is fantastic! Easy and so good on the comfort food scale.
This is the best Alfredo recipe I have ever tried yum yum yummy
Absolutely delicious & in a short amount of time!! Thank you!
Very good recipe I love it
Can you provide a few more details about making the chicken a day in advance and how to reheat it? Thank you!
Loved this recipe. Perfection
Omg! Best Alfredo pasta I’ve made. Yum!!
My kids and I loved this tonight! Very tasty! Will this be available on Yummly soon so I can save it with all my other recipes?
Really yummy and easy! For the sauce, I recommend just using 2 cloves of minced garlic instead of using 1 clove and garlic powder :)
I really like this recipe a bunch! To make it even better, I put a whole white onion in the pan, cooked until slightly browned, added the garlic and cooked until fragrant. Then, added a few tablespoons of white wine and scraped all the good bits off the bottom of the pan while the wine cooked off. Throw in the rest of the ingredients and finish it off with some parsley on top.
This was such a delicious recipe! I really loved the simple seasonings on the chicken. My picky preschooler ate it all up as well. This will be a staple in my kitchen!
I absolutely loved this recipe. Very quick and easy to make. Thankyou!
I am a beginner cook and am trying to find some amazing recipes to keep on making as I grow older and move out of my home and this is one of the best pastas I have made!
Really good! This one is a keeper!
This recipe is so good. Just a quick question though, after you cook the chicken do you clean the pan out before you add the sauce ingredients?
Nope! The pan drippings help flavor the sauce.
Can the whipping cream be substituted with cream cheese
So easy and delicious !! My family loved it :)
Just fantastic! Whole family gobbled it up. Going in my permanent recipe binder to make again and again, thank you for sharing!
GREAT RECIPE!
Definitely saving this one. Soooo good!
This recipe is amazing, I used to buy the boughten stuff but no more! I also tried other recipes, but this is the best I’ve found.

This was delicious! 2 teen sons and hubby all gave it a 10. So much flavor in the chicken and alfredo sauce. I used angel hair pasta and used half n half instead of cream. Also only had 1 cup of parmesan on hand but it was so good!!!!!!!
I made the exact changes you did based on what I had at home! It was delicious!! Thanks!
This recipe was amazing!! I followed it exactly as it’s laid out and everyone in my home loved it.

Great Chicken Alfredo recipe. My kids and their friends said I should open a restaurant after tasting this!!
First time using this recipe, and I loved it! Super easy and DELICIOUS! Had my Hubbs try the Alfredo sauce and he compared it to Olive Garden! I was very surprised, I hadn’t tried it yet. Needless to say, he and our littles have some full bellies! Thanks!!!
Fantastic Recipe! I am not usually a fan of cooking but just made Chicken Alfredo for the first time using this recipe and it turned out wonderful! My husband and I both love it and it was a lot simpler than I thought it would be! Thank you so much for the great recipe and the boost of confidence to start cooking different dishes!
Made this for my family and everyone loved it! It makes for good leftovers as well. Would definitely make again.
My family said this was so good. I will definitely make it again. I thought it was easy to make.
First time on your site . . . and I’ll definitely be back! The Chicken Alfredo was delicious and so simple! I added some lightly steamed fresh broccoli to make it a one-dish meal. This will appear regularly on our dinner table!
It was good. First time making it.
