The hubby likes it extra creamy so I add extra heavy whipping cream and parmesan cheese instead of olive oil in the skillet I used grape seed oil to cook the chicken. I am great full for this recipe, and just a FYI it taste great, just the way it is offered to us. I’ve tried it with white wine in replace of lemon juice and I think it’s good to try it yourself with both options to see which way your family likes it best. – Rachael Brown ***  This was my first time making this recipe, and I CRUSHED it!!

I used to rely on jarred sauces, but I’ve found that it’s actually really easy to make a creamy, cheesy Alfredo sauce completely from scratch. Cooking it directly in the pan along with the pasta and chicken breast ensures everything melds together beautifully, and it’s so much easier this way.

Using broth instead of butter adds a rich umami flavor while keeping it a little lighter. But the cream makes the sauce silky smooth, plus garlic, cheese, and a splash of lemon juice make it irresistible. To further thicken the alfredo sauce, just add a slurry. Whisk together equal amounts of cornstarch and water (1 tablespoon of each works well), then slowly add it into the sauce as it simmers, until it reaches your desired consistency. But keep in mind, the sauce does thicken as it simmers and then cools.   4\.50 from 315 votes ## Homemade Chicken Alfredo Recipe This homemade chicken fettuccine alfredo recipe is quick, easy, and has the most incredibly creamy consistency.

You can also use boneless thighs instead.* *\*\*Chicken alfredo can also be made with linguine, angel hair pasta, penne, tagliatelle, or really any noodle you prefer.* *\*\*\*Half and half or whole milk can be used instead, though the finish won’t be quite as silky.* **Tips:** - Cooking the sauce along with the other ingredients may make it seem a bit runny at first–but it will thicken! As it simmers and cools, the alfredo will meld together with the pasta, soaking up those starches in the process. - To further thicken the sauce: make a slurry with 1 tablespoon each of cornstarch and water, then stir it into the alfredo. - To use leftover chicken: simply warm it for 2-3 minutes per side in Step 3, then continue the recipe. - I like to mix in steamed or sautéed broccoli, or a handful of spinach, for more greens. - Add some red pepper flakes–either in the sauce or as a finishing touch– for just a tiny bit of heat. **Storage:** Store chicken alfredo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing this dish. Note: Water, salt, pepper, oil, and broth are not counted as ingredients on this site.

Mince the garlic and squeeze fresh lemon juice. Bring the chicken and heavy cream to room temperature about 30 minutes before beginning. *If the cream is fridge-cold when added to the pan, it will likely curdle.*   **Boil the Fettuccine:** Begin by boiling 1 pound of dry fettuccine noodles according to package instructions. Then drain and set aside. *I recommend cooking them al dente, so you may want to lower the cook time by 1-2 minutes. I find it easiest to let the pasta boil while I cook the chicken.*   **Prep the Chicken:** Cut 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized cubes or thin strips. *Feel free to use 2 chicken breasts for more [protein per serving](https://easychickenrecipes.com/high-protein-chicken-recipes/).*   **Cook the Chicken:** Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once warmed, add the chicken to the pan, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown. Then remove it from the pan and set aside. *If using leftover chicken, it will only need 2-3 minutes to warm up.*   **Deglaze the Pan:** Next, add 1 minced clove of garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Then add 1¼ cups of chicken broth, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits of chicken or garlic stuck to the pan. *We want these bits to mix into the sauce to add maximum flavor\!* Then add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and bring to a boil.   **Add the Cream:** Mix in 1½ cups of room temperature heavy cream. Then add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the pan, and let everything heat up together. Stir to fully coat everything in the alfredo sauce.   **Add the Cheese:** Add 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and stir until everything is well combined.   **Toss, Garnish, and Serve:** Sprinkle the fettuccine chicken alfredo with ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley and enjoy\!   ## How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat Store leftover chicken alfredo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of cream or chicken broth to rehydrate the Alfredo sauce. Or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring regularly, until reheated all the way through. I do not recommend freezing this dish, because the sauce usually turns out clumpy once thawed, and the pasta gets grainy. ## More Chicken Alfredo Recipes to Try\! - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/crockpot-chicken-alfredo/) ## [Crockpot Chicken Alfredo](https://easychickenrecipes.com/crockpot-chicken-alfredo/) - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/instant-pot-chicken-alfredo-recipe/) ## [Instant Pot Chicken Alfredo](https://easychickenrecipes.com/instant-pot-chicken-alfredo-recipe/) - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/chicken-alfredo-stuffed-shells-recipe/) ## [Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Shells](https://easychickenrecipes.com/chicken-alfredo-stuffed-shells-recipe/) - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/cajun-chicken-alfredo/) ## [Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta](https://easychickenrecipes.com/cajun-chicken-alfredo/) ### More delish recipes - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/blackened-chicken-recipe/) [Blackened Chicken](https://easychickenrecipes.com/blackened-chicken-recipe/) - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/slow-cooker-white-chicken-chili-recipe/) [Crockpot White Chicken Chili](https://easychickenrecipes.com/slow-cooker-white-chicken-chili-recipe/) - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/easy-chicken-marsala-recipe/) [Chicken Marsala](https://easychickenrecipes.com/easy-chicken-marsala-recipe/) - [](https://easychickenrecipes.com/white-chicken-pizza/) [White Chicken Pizza](https://easychickenrecipes.com/white-chicken-pizza/)   Meet Becky Hardin Becky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.

Homemade is really the best. But I added a few things: Peppers, green peppers, onions and mushrooms it came out absolutely delicious.

Samantha Marceau [February 23, 2026](https://easychickenrecipes.com/homemade-chicken-alfredo-recipe/comment-page-4/#comment-21578) Hi Nik, this sauce benefits from simmering a bit longer once the pasta and chicken is added back. You can also thicken it up further by making a slurry with 1 tbsp each of cornstarch and water, then stirring it into the sauce.

You can also use boneless thighs instead.* *\*\*Chicken alfredo can also be made with linguine, angel hair pasta, penne, tagliatelle, or really any noodle you prefer.* *\*\*\*Half and half or whole milk can be used instead, though the finish won’t be quite as silky.* **Tips:** - Cooking the sauce along with the other ingredients may make it seem a bit runny at first–but it will thicken! As it simmers and cools, the alfredo will meld together with the pasta, soaking up those starches in the process. - To further thicken the sauce: make a slurry with 1 tablespoon each of cornstarch and water, then stir it into the alfredo. - To use leftover chicken: simply warm it for 2-3 minutes per side in Step 3, then continue the recipe. - I like to mix in steamed or sautéed broccoli, or a handful of spinach, for more greens. - Add some red pepper flakes–either in the sauce or as a finishing touch– for just a tiny bit of heat. **Storage:** Store chicken alfredo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing this dish. Note: Water, salt, pepper, oil, and broth are not counted as ingredients on this site.

Mince the garlic and squeeze fresh lemon juice. Bring the chicken and heavy cream to room temperature about 30 minutes before beginning. *If the cream is fridge-cold when added to the pan, it will likely curdle.*  **Boil the Fettuccine:** Begin by boiling 1 pound of dry fettuccine noodles according to package instructions. Then drain and set aside. *I recommend cooking them al dente, so you may want to lower the cook time by 1-2 minutes. I find it easiest to let the pasta boil while I cook the chicken.*  **Prep the Chicken:** Cut 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized cubes or thin strips. *Feel free to use 2 chicken breasts for more [protein per serving](https://easychickenrecipes.com/high-protein-chicken-recipes/).*  **Cook the Chicken:** Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once warmed, add the chicken to the pan, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown. Then remove it from the pan and set aside. *If using leftover chicken, it will only need 2-3 minutes to warm up.*  **Deglaze the Pan:** Next, add 1 minced clove of garlic and sauté for 3 minutes. Then add 1¼ cups of chicken broth, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits of chicken or garlic stuck to the pan. *We want these bits to mix into the sauce to add maximum flavor\!* Then add 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and bring to a boil.  **Add the Cream:** Mix in 1½ cups of room temperature heavy cream. Then add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the pan, and let everything heat up together. Stir to fully coat everything in the alfredo sauce.  **Add the Cheese:** Add 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and stir until everything is well combined.  **Toss, Garnish, and Serve:** Sprinkle the fettuccine chicken alfredo with ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley and enjoy\!  ## How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat Store leftover chicken alfredo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of cream or chicken broth to rehydrate the Alfredo sauce. Or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring regularly, until reheated all the way through. I do not recommend freezing this dish, because the sauce usually turns out clumpy once thawed, and the pasta gets grainy.  Meet Becky Hardin Becky Hardin founded Easy Chicken Recipes in 2018.
