Skinny chicken fettuccine Alfredo is a delicious, lighter version of a classic pasta recipe. This creamy dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal!
Fettuccine Pasta: Cook the pasta until it is al dente, which means it is cooked but still firm to the bite. This helps to maintain a pleasing texture when combined with the sauce and chicken.
Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water; this starchy water can be used to adjust the consistency of the sauce if needed.
Add sauteed or roasted vegetables for extra nutrients. Diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, or baby spinach are great additions.
If you want something other than chicken, you can use shrimp, steak strips, or cooked Italian sausage.
Feel free to use other pasta shapes like penne, spaghetti, or linguine. You can also try it with my favorite 👉 low-carb pasta 👈.
Enhance the flavor and add herbs such as dried oregano, or spices like red pepper flakes.
