Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo features rich, creamy, and cheesy fettuccine noodles topped with sautéed chicken and onions for the most delicious meal! Made with C.F. Burger Creamery Half and Half to make it extra creamy.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my favorite dishes to order at restaurants and I've decided that I need to start making it at home more because this version is so delicious! It's quite easy to make, comes together in about 30-minutes and it is totally family friendly. My kids always ask for more every time I make a homemade alfredo recipe. 

For extra flavor, I caramelized some onions which gives the creamy sauce that delicious onion flavor. This chicken alfredo would make an amazing holiday party meal! You could always leave out the chicken to make it more of a side dish as well.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Ingredients

• Fettuccine noodles
• Butter
• Onions- alfredo doesn't always have onions in it but I knew it would add a delicious level of flavor 
• Chopped garlic- I buy mine pre-chopped but you can also mince your own fresh garlic cloves
• White whole-wheat flour- more fiber than all-purpose flour
• 2% milk
• C.F. Burger Creamery Half and Half
• Low-sodium chicken broth- lower in sodium than regular broth
• Quality Parmesan cheese- you can shred your own or buy it pre-shredded
• Black pepper
• Boneless, skinless chicken breast
  
• Olive oil
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Black pepper
