Why One-Pot Alfredo?

Because honestly, who has time for a pile of dishes after a comforting, creamy meal?

One-pot Alfredo is all about simplifying life without sacrificing that rich, indulgent flavor we crave.

You get everything—perfectly cooked pasta, velvety sauce, and tender chicken—all in one pot. No fuss, no mess, just pure comfort in every bite.

 

What You’ll Need:

● 2 tablespoons olive oil (for that perfect sear)

● 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

● Salt and pepper (to taste)

● 1 teaspoon garlic powder

● 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (think oregano, basil, all the good stuff)

● 3-4 garlic cloves, minced (because you can never have too much garlic!)

● 2 cups chicken broth

● 2 cups heavy cream (we’re going full-on creamy here)

● 8 ounces fettuccine (or whatever pasta you have on hand)

● 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the secret to a dreamy sauce)

● 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (adds that tangy touch)

● Fresh parsley, chopped (for that final pop of color)

 

Let’s Make It Happen:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Season your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Place them in the pot, cooking each side for about 6-7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Take the chicken out and set it aside for a bit.

2. Sauté the Garlic: Using the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute until fragrant.

Don’t rush this part—the smell alone will make your kitchen feel like a cozy Italian bistro!

3. Add the Broth, Cream, and Pasta: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well.

Let it come to a gentle simmer, then add in the fettuccine. Stir occasionally to make sure the pasta doesn’t stick.

4. Let It Simmer: Cook the pasta in that creamy broth mixture until it’s just tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Keep stirring every few minutes—this helps the sauce get extra luscious.

5. Cheesy Time: Stir in the grated Parmesan until it melts right into the sauce, making it thick and creamy.

Add the sun-dried tomatoes for a pop of flavor.

6. Bring Back the Chicken: Slice up the cooked chicken and add it back into the pot, stirring to coat every piece with that glorious sauce.

7. Serve It Up: Grab a ladle and serve this straight from the pot, topped with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for that extra something.

 

 

Pro Tips:

Pair it with garlic bread or a simple salad to balance out the richness.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat in your creamy dishes.

And there you have it—One-Pot Marry Me Chicken Alfredo!

It’s everything you love about comfort food, all wrapped up in one pot of creamy goodness.

Enjoy every bite and get ready for the compliments to roll in! 🥂🍝
