CREAMY ALFREDO SAUCE? DELICIOUS MUSHROOMS? YES, PLEASE!

This homemade recipe for chicken mushroom pasta with alfredo is to die for. It’s got a lot of nutrients, high fiber, and the white sauce is out of this world. Here’s what I love most about this recipe:

• It has a unique twist which includes asparagus and red pepper.
• The alfredo mixture is so good you don’t even need pasta!
• The recipe is simple, fairly quick to make, and really satisfies you.

What I Love About Chicken Mushroom Pasta Alfredo

What’s your favorite pasta for chicken alfredo? Mine is spaghetti. I think this recipe is perfect with spaghetti, because it compliments that classic Italian feel with the mushrooms and onions. The onions aren’t a must, but they add flavor (my husband is the fan of onions.) My favorite part about this chicken mushroom recipe is the alfredo sauce. It’s SO good. The other thing I love about this recipe is that you can actually make it without pasta, and just eat everything with bread. You could also substitute the chicken with other meats!

What’s In This Dish?

We have a really simple and delicious ingredient list for you.

• Chicken Breast (Boneless, skinless)
• Spaghetti
• Onion
• Red Bell Pepper
• Asparagus
• White Mushroom
• Milk
• Light Table Cream
• Mozzarella Cheese
• Olive Oil
• Black Pepper, Onion Powder, Parsley

Let’s Make It!

The first thing you’ll want to do is cook your spaghetti. Different pasta have their own specific boiling instructions. So follow the back of the box.

Once the spaghetti is cooking, slice and dice your veggies. Cut each asparagus spear into about 1 inch sections, slice the mushrooms into 1/4 inch sections, and cut the onion and red pepper.

Then, carve the chicken breast into bite sized pieces. They should look like small rectangles, about 2.5-3 inches long, and 1 inch thick.

Add olive oil and the seasonings to skillet and heat on medium stove-top (number 5). These are the onion powder, parsley, and black pepper. Throw in the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes.

Next, add the chicken and cook it for 10 minutes. After the chicken cooks, toss in the rest of your veggies, and add a cup of milk.

The last step is to lower the heat (to number 2), add the light table cream, mozzarella cheese, and your cooked spaghetti. Mix everything, and let sit for a minute. And that’s it! Serve, and enjoy!
