Creamy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is a super creamy and delicious Pasta. Crispy fried Chicken tossed in a creamy Alfredo Sauce along with Fettuccine Pasta. A restaurant quality dish made in the comfort of your home.
Bring a Pot of salted Water to boil. Add the Fettuccine Pasta and cook over medium-high heat for 6 minutes. Once the Pasta gets cooked, drain the water and keep the Pasta aside
Cut Chicken Breasts lengthwise into thin cutlets. Season Chicken Breasts with Salt and Pepper. Heat Olive Oil in a skillet. As the oil shimmers, Add the Chicken Breasts (skin side down) and cook for 5 minutes (each side) or until the Chicken gets cooked through. To check the doneness of the Chicken, use an Instant read Thermometer. If the Chicken temperature reads to over 165F, the Chicken is cooked. Remove from the Skillet and keep aside.
In the same pan, melt a stick of butter. As the Butter melts, add the Cream Cheese and allow the Cream Cheese to melt over medium-high heat stirring frequently. Next, pour the Chicken Broth and Heavy Cream. Also, add the Salt, Pepper and Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. Stir until combined and bring the mixture to a boil. As the moisture boils, reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes so as to thicken the alfredo sauce.
Add the Pasta and toss to combine. As you add the pasta and toss to combine, you'll notice the sauce will thicken automatically from the starch of the Pasta.
Chop the Chicken and add to the Pasta. Garnish the Pasta with freshly chopped Parsley and freshly grated Parmesan Cheese. Serve immediately.

Notes
I would not recommend you to replace Heavy Cream with Milk or any thing else. Alfredo sauce is known to curdle easily when you use milk or any other low fat options.
Also, use freshly grated Parmesan Cheese and not the pre shredded one. It will make the sauce even creamier
For even crispier chicken, coat the Chicken with Garlic Powder and Flour along with Salt and Pepper and then cook until crispy on the outside and juicy on the outside
If your Alfredo Sauce is thin, just cook it for some more time and it will thicken
You can also add reserved pasta water to thicken the sauce.
