Chicken Alfredo
Gather your loved ones for a feast to remember with this hearty Chicken Alfredo from our Redmond Life team member Moncerrat Carabajal. It's the perfect dish for feeding a crowd, combining tender chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy sauce over fettuccine. Montserrat said that his kids love pasta, so this dish has always filled his dinner table with happy, satisfied smiles.
Ingredients:
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 1 small head broccoli, chopped
- 2 bell peppers (yellow & red), chopped
- 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
- 4 Tbsp. butter, divided
- 1 lb. fettuccine
- 5 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp. Real Salt, or to taste
- 2 Tbsp. Real Salt Taco Seasoning
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. While waiting, prepare the vegetables and garlic, and chop the chicken.
- Add 2 Tbsp. of butter to the boiling water, then add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente; then drain.
- Meanwhile, in a large, deep frying pan, melt the remaining 2 Tbsp. of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and chicken, cooking for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Reduce the heat slightly and add the chopped vegetables to the frying pan. Pour in the heavy cream and let everything simmer for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the Real Salt and Real Salt Taco Seasoning. Gradually add in ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese, stirring until it's completely melted into the sauce.
- Combine the drained noodles with the sauce, warming everything through thoroughly.
- Serve the Chicken Alfredo hot, topped with the remaining Parmesan cheese.

Second comment on this. Follow-up: I made this recipe over the Memorial Day Weekend. Absolutely Delicious!
As an older single adult, I cut the recipe in half. I had chicken thighs so I substituted the thighs for breast meat.I cannot consume alcohol so for the acid component, I added white wine vinegar and a splash of malt vinegar. The veggies are a great addition as a variation on a favorite theme. I also added a large Crimini mushroom, chopped and sautéd; mostly because I had one I needed to use. The Real Salt Taco Seasoning adds a wonderful flavor profile. I would not have thought of it on my own. I divided the sauce into 5 parts; ladling 4 parts into hot 15 oz jars for later use. The last serving, I ate shortly there after mixed with pasta. Perfect!
Thank you, Moncerrat, for creating and sharing the recipe, and Redmond Life, for featuring this delicious dish.

Thanks for your great ideas, Maggi! This recipe does feed a crowd, and it’s so helpful to have tips on how to make it work for only one or two. And isn’t adding Taco Seasoning to Alfredo a revelation? I’ve made it a regular part of my cooking too! I’ll pass on your thanks to Mance.
This dish looks amazing! Will have to try it.
I like the RealSalt apron. I would buy one if available to the public.
