Less Mess, More Flavor!

Tender chicken breast, al dente pasta and a light and creamy parmesan sauce come together in an easy, simple dinner that will have them running to the table! This One-Pot Chicken Alfredo Pasta is filling, creamy, and so flavorful, you definitely won’t miss the mess of multiple pans and dishes!

An Easy Dinner in About 30 Minutes

At dinner time, a big pot of pasta will please every person in this house. Whether it’s classic Spaghetti and Meatballs, a quick Cacio e Pepe or Lemon Ricotta Linguini, the answer to a quick and popular dinner is probably pasta.

This one-pot Alfredo is definitely a crowd pleaser. And everyone makes room for seconds! I use whatever pasta we have on hand (usually Cavatappi, but penne and fusilli have definitely been on the sub list) and everything comes together in about 30 minutes. Easy!

Serve with a Veggie (or don’t!)

I remember someone once told me that Alfredo is NOT authentic Italian food. It made me laugh because, it’s authentically delicious so that’s all that matters! I love to serve this with a side Chopped Caesar Salad or some Crispy Oven-Fried Broccoli or, let’s be honest, on its own when the day has been hectic.
