Best Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Fettuccine Alfredo is usually a hit or miss at restaurants—so I decided to make the perfect version at home! 🍝🇮🇹

Every time I order Alfredo, the sauce is either too bland, too watery, or just not right. In this video, I’m showing you how to make a Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo that is rich, creamy, and packed with flavor.

We start by searing chicken breasts seasoned simply with salt and pepper to get a beautiful crust. The real magic is in the sauce: we sauté red onions and garlic, then simmer them with cream and plenty of butter. The secret to the texture?

A specific 3-Cheese Blend of Parmesan, Reggiano, and Grana Padano that makes the sauce absolutely bang on!

Butterfly the chicken breast and season with only salt and black pepper. Press the seasoning in. Sear in olive oil until it develops a beautiful golden crust. Slice and set aside.

In the same pan (don’t wash the flavor away!), add oil and sauté the finely chopped red onion until soft. Add the chopped garlic.
.
▸ 3. The Cream
Pour in your cream (10% or 30%) and bring to a simmer. Add salt, pepper, and the butter. Let it thicken slightly.
.
▸ 4. The Secret Step
Once the sauce thickens, add your 3-cheese blend (Parmesan, Reggiano, Grana Padano). Stir until smooth and melted.
.
▸ 5. Unite
Dump in your cooked Fettuccine pasta and toss until every noodle is coated in that creamy gold.
.
▸ 6. Serve
Plate the pasta, top with the sliced chicken, garnish with parsley/cilantro, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon and extra cheese.
