This quick and easy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo comes together in under 30 minutes—perfect for busy weeknights. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken is tossed with fettuccine in a rich and velvety Alfredo sauce that the whole family will love. This simple recipe uses just a handful of ingredients, but I like to add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes for an extra layer of flavor—totally optional, but highly recommended!

Things to know about this quick and easy chicken fettuccini alfredo recipe

Frying the chicken and then deglazing the pan with chicken stock and cream creates a rich, creamy sauce full of flavor. You can absolutely use white wine instead of chicken stock—I often do. But because I don’t drink, I usually offer the non-alcoholic version too.

For those who prefer not to cook with alcohol, know that there are great alternatives, and honestly, the flavor difference is subtle. Use what feels right to you and tastes good. Either way, the key is using the freshest, best-quality ingredients you can find—that’s what takes a recipe from just okay to WOW.

I like easy recipes that come together in less than an hour, but from the looks of the meal we can tell our friends it took hours.

Serve it up in pretty white dinner plates  add some festive napkins and you have a restaurant quality dinner, that comes together in 30 minutes, is quick and easy for family weekday dinners and just fancy enough for special occasions.
