Are you loving these 30 minute Thursdays? Because I sure am! I mean, what’s not to love about a meal that’s ready in just a half hour?
But I can do even better than that today.
I can bring you a 30 minute meal that’s made in one pan, and one pan only! How about that for a Thursday?
Now, before I get into the details of this One Pan Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, I just have to proclaim my love for this dish. You see, fettuccine alfredo and I go back a long time. I always used to order this dish at Italian restaurants (and still do a lot of the times), as I just couldn’t get enough of the creamy, cheesy sauce.
I’m not really a big fan of red sauce, which is why fettuccine alfredo and I are perfect for each other. I can eat red sauce occasionally, but if I’m going out to eat, I will never order spaghetti, lasagna, ravioli, etc. Anything with a red sauce is out!
Needless to say, we don’t consume a lot of red sauce in my house, unless the hubster makes spaghetti. It’s just one of those foods that I can’t eat all the time.
Instead, I much prefer the creamy alfredo sauces, pesto, or garlic and oil. And this is where the hubster and I differ. He prefers red sauce, I prefer anything BUT red. Until I was able to convert him to a One Pan Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo lover.
Yep, that’s right, my power (and good cooking) won the hubster over and converted him to the alfredo sauce side, at least temporarily. And that’s saying a lot for the hubster, which means this 30 minute meal is a winner in my house.
This One Pan Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is filled with tender chicken and fresh pasta that’s tossed in a lightened, creamy sauce. It’s made in one pan and ready in just 30 minutes!
If you love fettuccine alfredo like I do, then this one pan meal was made for you! It’s warm, comforting, and so easy to whip! It’s also lightened up a bit, as I used milk in place of the heavy cream that is found in most alfredo recipes.
And did I mention that this One Pan Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is ready in just 30 minutes? That means that this meal is perfect for those busy weeknights for when you want a hot meal, but don’t feel like slaving over the stove all night. And since this is also made in one pan, you have less dishes to wash! Told you this dish was a winner!
The preparation for this chicken fettuccine alfredo couldn’t be any easier. Simply brown the chicken in a large skillet, season with garlic and spices, and then add in the uncooked pasta, some chicken broth, flour, and milk. Mix everything together and then let it simmer until the pasta is cooked.
In just 30 minutes, this One Pan Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo will be prepped, cooked, and ready to be devoured. How about that for a weeknight meal? The creamy, Parmesan sauce pairs perfectly with the tender pasta and chicken. This dish is hearty, comforting, and oh-so delicious!
