Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Tonight I'm back on the wagon... food wagon that is! Pasta is my comfort food go to. I believe I found this recipe at Publix several years ago and it has stayed at the front of my recipe box since day one. It makes a ton... easily 4 to 6 people especially with side dishes. 

What you'll need:
2 tbs all-purpose flour                     
1 tsp season salt (I addore Lowry's)
1 large ziplock bag
1 lb chicken tenders (cut into bite size pieces)
1 tbs butter
1 tsp minced garlic
1 c fresh mushrooms
8 oz fettucini pasta
1/4 c white wine 
1 c heavy cream
2 tbs grated parmesan cheese


  • Cook pasta according to directions on box then drain.
  • Place chicken in ziplock bag with flour & seasoned salt, then shake to coat. 
  • Pre-heat a large sauté pan on med-high heat and add butter
  • Cook chicken & garlic for about 5 mins, then add mushroom and cook additional 4 mins until the mushrooms are tender. 
  • Add cream & wine, simmer over low-med heat for 5-7 mins until chicken is throughly cooked. 
  • Add pasta & parmesan & toss gently. 
    • The only white wine I had tonight was a delicious bottle of buttery chardonay that I couldn't bear to open alone so I subbed chicken stock instead. It still turned out great!  

I threw some fresh broccoli in the hot pasta water after I has added the noodles to the dish as a green side. I'm lazy when it comes to scrubbing pots and pans after cooking so it saved me 1 more pot. 

Enjoy!
