One Pot Chicken Alfredo
The following recipe and photography was provided by Christina Musgrave of Tasting with Tina.
This One Pot Chicken Alfredo is about to become your family’s favorite weeknight dinner!
As someone who always feels short on time, I love that the chicken, pasta and sauce come together all in the same pot because it means I have to spend less time cleaning later on.
An ideal dish for a cool fall night, the alfredo sauce is silky and not too heavy, and the pan-seared chicken is the perfect protein to compliment the pasta. Serve with a bit of basil for a pop of color and fresh flavor and dinner is done!
