A comforting dish featuring tender chicken smothered in a rich, cheesy three-cheese alfredo spaghetti sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 jar (16 oz) store-bought alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken fillets with salt and pepper. Sear chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
  3. In the same skillet, pour in the alfredo sauce over medium-low heat. Stir in mozzarella, parmesan, and cheddar cheeses until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
  4. Slice the rested chicken against the grain. Add the sliced chicken to the cheesy sauce and warm through for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve the smothered chicken and alfredo sauce over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly grated cheese.
  • Add a pinch of garlic powder to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
  • Substitute gluten-free spaghetti if needed.
  • For a homemade alfredo sauce, whisk 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup parmesan, and 2 minced garlic cloves over low heat until thickened.
