Servings: 4
Calories: 405kcal
Ingredients
- 2 16 ounce jars Alfredo sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 8 ounces fettuccine noodles uncooked
- 4 ounces cream cheese optional
- 8 ounces pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken
- Grated parmesan cheese and parsley for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place Alfredo sauce, chicken broth and pasta in a 12-inch skillet.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue simmering until pasta is cooked through - about 15-20 minutes.
- For an extra creamy pasta, stir in cream cheese until melted and combined.
- If you would like to thin out the sauce a bit, add hot water to the pan and stir until sauce is smooth.
- Top with chicken, grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or add ½ cup water and leftover pasta to a saucepan and reheat until sauce is smooth and heated through.
Notes:
This is as easy as it gets. The cream cheese really makes an extra rich, creamy sauce. It also thickens it up quite a bit so add water as needed to achieve desired sauce consistency.
I used those pre-cooked “grilled” chicken strips. You could also use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.
