FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHICKEN

Fettuccine Alfredo with Mushrooms and Chicken image

This is one of my absolute favorite Alfredo dishes with mushrooms. My mom always used to make it, and I made it recently for some of my college friends and they were dying over it! It's very easy and, I have yet to meet a person who doesn't like this recipe!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 cups milk
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 (16 ounce) box dry fettuccine pasta
2 grilled chicken breasts, cubed, or more to taste

Steps:

Heat butter in a large pot over medium-high heat and add green onions and garlic. Cook until butter is simmering and onions and garlic are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add flour and stir for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream, milk, Parmesan cheese, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer until sauce looks thick and creamy, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
Stir chicken into sauce mixture and heat through, 3 to 5 minutes, to avoid overcooking.
Serve chicken Alfredo sauce over cooked pasta.
