Quick and easy kid-friendly chicken Alfredo using rotisserie or leftover chicken, ready in just 25 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • For the chicken Alfredo:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 12 ounces fettuccine
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup reserved pasta water
  • Fresh parsley, garnish
  • For the arugula salad (Dad Add):
  • 4 cups baby arugula
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Fresh lemon juice, for drizzling
  • Coarse salt, optional
  • Thin strips of parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • Place a large pot of generously salted water on the stove and bring it to a vigorous boil.
  • To begin the sauce, combine butter, cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg in a small or medium saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture simmers gently. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often to avoid scorching, until the sauce lightly thickens and easily coats the back of a spoon.
  • Cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente according to package instructions, testing a minute or two earlier to ensure it's not overcooked. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta.
  • Combine cooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, and shredded chicken in the pot. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly. Add cheese and continue stirring with tongs until sauce thickens. If needed, gradually thin out the sauce by adding reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Prepare the arugula salad: Combine arugula, tomatoes, and pistachios in a bowl. Divide into serving bowls and drizzle with quality extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a sprinkle of coarse salt. Finish with shaved parmesan on top. Enjoy alongside Alfredo to balance the flavors.
