This simple Chicken Alfredo Copy-Cat recipe definitely does not taste simple and by just switching out the pasta will make it gluten-free.
Mushrooms are an option and I suggest you slice them nice and thin. Thin mushrooms will supplement the alfredo sauce, and not make it a mushroom alfredo sauce. Of course, if you love them thick…go for it!
This tantalizing chicken alfredo sauce makes 6 servings, depending on how many scoops of creamy, rich sauce you like on your fettuccine.
- Butter
- Cream cheese
- Heavy cream
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh Parmesan cheese
- Chicken breasts – cooked and cut in strips or cubes.
- Fresh mushrooms (optional)
- Fettuccine noodles – gluten-free if necessary.
Note: I use leftover chicken for this recipe, such as Grilled Lemon Chicken or Seasoned Chicken Breast.
Another great reason to keep leftovers on hand in the freezer.
Enjoy!
