Description

This easy Chicken & Shrimp Alfredo is a creamy, rich dish that combines tender chicken, succulent shrimp, and a luscious homemade Alfredo sauce. Perfect for a quick yet indulgent dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, diced

  • 1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of heat)

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)


Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:
    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

  • Cook the Chicken and Shrimp:
    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
    In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the chicken.

  • Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
    In the same skillet, add the butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
    Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
    Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  • Combine the Pasta, Chicken, and Shrimp:
    Add the cooked pasta, chicken, and shrimp to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated with the Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

 

  • Serve:
    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

You can substitute shrimp with other seafood or additional chicken.
