How To Make One Pot Chicken and Peas Fettuccine Alfredo
- Start by cooking the fettuccine according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked, drain the water and set it aside.
- On a medium flame, put some olive oil in the pot. Add sliced chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink inside. Don���t forget to season it with a bit of salt and pepper as it cooks.
- With the cooked chicken set aside, add peas and Alfredo sauce into the same pot. Stir constantly until your peas are cooked and the sauce reaches a creamy consistency. Here’s where one can add a personal touch, by tossing in olives, broccoli pieces or any other garnishing herbs of your liking.
- Finally, it’s time to mix all our heroes together. Add in the pasta and the seasoned chicken into the pot with our peas and Alfredo sauce mixture. Stir them all together until they’re blended harmoniously.
Tips For The Best Results
- Season the pasta water well.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly to avoid any foodborne illnesses.
Storage Tips
- This dish can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Just ensure it’s in an airtight container.
