Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups Cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 16 oz Jarred Alfredo sauce
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Melt the unsalted butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the jarred Alfredo sauce and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring until well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Add the cooked, shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken thoroughly in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
Step 6
Toss the cooked fettuccine pasta with the sauce and chicken, ensuring every strand is coated evenly.
Step 7
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
