How To Make Chicken Alfredo Recipe:
Prep your food for the recipe. Slice your bacon, chop your green onion, and chop your mushrooms.
In a pot, boil water, add about 3 seconds of olive oil to prevent noodles from sticking, and 2 Tablespoons of freshly ground pink Himalayan salt.
In a large skillet, fry up your bacon to the doneness you like; we like chewy.
Once your bacon is done, mix in green onion, mushrooms, cream cheese, Gouda cheese, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, shrimp, and sour cream.
Allow sauce to simmer to melt all ingredients together on medium-high heat, and add your three chicken breasts. The chicken breasts will cook in the sauce for a rich flavor.
Stir in your cooked shrimp to allow the flavors to cook in.
Strain your fettuccine noodles in the pan, place your butter at the bottom, and then mix them. **The butter will help the noodles not stick and add flavor.**
Once your chicken is cooked (be sure to double-check it is at 165 degrees, so it is safe to eat. I love to use this → food thermometer to check mine), remove it from the pan.
Remove the chicken and cube it up. Once the chicken is cubed, mix the sauce, the chicken, and the noodles.
Serve and enjoy!!!
How to Store Leftover Chicken Alfredo
If you include shrimp, store in the fridge for up to two days after making; if not, you can store it for up to five days. To reheat, use a microwave or small pot on the stovetop.
