Ingredients for Creamy Chicken Alfredo
- 1 pound uncooked fettuccine or linguine
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 24 ounces jar Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, peas)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

- Add Alfredo sauce: Pour in the jarred Alfredo sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Combine everything: Return chicken to the skillet, then add cooked pasta. Toss to coat evenly in the creamy sauce.
