Quick One-Pot Chicken Alfredo
  1. 1

    Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast horizontally into 3 thinner pieces. Season both sides of each piece with garlic salt and Italian seasoning.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    Add the milk and garlic to the skillet; bring to a simmer and add the fettuccine. Cook, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent sticking, until the pasta has softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring every couple of minutes, 6 to 7 minutes more. Stir in the cream and Parmesan cheese, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is cooked, about 2 more minutes.

    Serve right away and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
