Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo features rich, creamy and cheesy fettuccine noodles with sautéed chicken and onions for the most delicious meal! Made with CF Burger Creamery Half and Half to make it extra creamy.
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my favorite dishes to order at restaurants and I decided I need to start making it at home more because this version is so delicious! It’s pretty easy to make, comes together in about 30 minutes, and is totally family friendly. My kids always ask for more every time I make a homemade alfredo recipe.
For extra flavor, I caramelized some onions which give the creamy sauce that wonderful onion flavor. This chicken alfredo would make an amazing holiday meal! You could always leave out the chicken to make it more of a side dish as well.
Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine Ingredients
- Fettuccine noodles
