Description
Buffalo Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine is a creamy and flavorful pasta dish that combines tender chicken, spicy buffalo sauce, and rich Alfredo sauce for a delightful meal.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil a pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
- Pour in the buffalo sauce, stirring well to coat the chicken evenly. Simmer for a few minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream until combined.
- Gradually sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the drained fettuccine into the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce.
- Top with shredded mozzarella and cover the skillet for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a milder taste, use less buffalo sauce or a mild variant.
- Enhance the dish with nutritious vegetables like spinach or broccoli.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream and reduce the cheese quantity.
