Best Ever Pan Seared Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo image

This recipe is for my daughter Mariya. She loves pasta and she loves white sauce. She's tried several white sauce pasta recipes and just couldn't find the perfect flavor and texture profile so I came up with this little number and she loves it! So, this is created from the heart for my baby girl.
