Fettuccine Alfredo And Chicken Recipe

Dinner is always a crazy time of day of us. It seems like we’re always scrambling to put something together that’s healthy (or as healthy as possible), appeasing to all family members, and easy enough to put together so our entire night isn’t spent in the kitchen.

I’d say last night’s meal was an all around success! My husband loved it, my 4 year old had two helpings, and my 1 year old couldn’t shovel it in fast enough. If you’re looking for something easy and tasty, give this fettuccine Alfredo And Chicken Cutlet Recipe a try!

Here’s what you’ll need for the Alfredo sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons sweet butter
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream (I substitute with 1- 12 oz can evaporated milk for less calories, but up to you)
  • 1โ„4 teaspoon pepper (I use black pepper, but white pepper is best)
  • 1โ„2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3โ„4 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1 box fettuccine

Directions

1. Melt butter with olive oil in medium saucepan over medium/low heat
2. Saute garlic and pepper for 2 minutes
3. Add cream (or evaporated milk) and bring mixture to a simmer (stir often)
4. Stir in Parmesan cheese and simmer sauce for 10 minutes (or until sauce has thickened and is smooth)
5. Once sauce has thickened, stir in Mozzarella cheese.
6. Continue stirring until sauce is smooth
7. Boil water and add fettuccine while sauce cooks
8. Place cooked pasta in serving bowl and add sauce
9. Top with fresh grated Parmesean cheese

 

While your sauce is cooking, get your chicken cutlets ready
