Gather Your Ingredients
To make Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Peas, you’ll need:
– Chicken Breast
– Chicken Stock
– Olive Oil
– Italian Seasoning
– Salt & Pepper
– Fettuccine Noodles
– Heavy Cream
– Parmesan Cheese
– Butter
– Frozen Peas
Cook Chicken Breast
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken breast and chicken stock in an 8×8 glass baking dish, and season with olive oil, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese. Cook for 15-25 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken breast, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Cook Pasta
Cook fettuccine in a large pot of salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside. DO NOT RINSE.
Cook Peas
Heat frozen peas on the stovetop or in microwave until warmed through. Set aside.
Make Alfredo Sauce
In a large pot, melt butter until it becomes frothy. While constantly whisking, slowly add heavy whipping cream until it just starts to bubble. Keep heat on low, and do not allow cream to come to a boil.
While whisking, slowly add in the parmesan cheese until it’s completely melted, and sauce is smooth.
Remove from heat, and keep whisking until sauce thickens – about 5 minutes.
Coat Pasta In Sauce
In the same pot that you made sauce in, add warmed peas and cooked pasta. Using tongs, gently toss pasta and peas in sauce until completely covered.
Serve
To serve Fettuccine Alfredo, use tongs to grab some pasta, and gently swirl into a bowl or on a plate. Top with sliced chicken breast and fresh parsley.
