Skinny One Pot Chicken Bacon Fettuccine Alfredo
ONE POT Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken and Bacon! NO HEAVY CREAM, butter or flour. Only one pot to wash up, with the pasta being cooked right in the pot!
Ingredients
- 8 Bacon chopped and trimmed of all fat
- 2 chicken breast large, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ½ cups milk full fat or 2% - you can also use half and half
- 1 pound Fettuccine pasta dry
- 1 broccoli cut into florets, stem removed, head
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese fresh grated
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a large saucepan or pot over medium-high heat until crispy.
- Add the chicken and sauté until cooked through. Add the garlic and fry until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Season with, salt and pepper.
- Pour in the milk, stir, and bring the milk to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat immediately and add the pasta.
- Stir occasionally for 5-6 minutes, or until the pasta just begins to bend and soften. Add in the broccoli, stir and cover with a lid. Continue to cook, while stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and al dente (about another 7 minutes).
- Stir through the Parmesan cheese and mix until the cheese has melted through the sauce. The sauce will continue to thicken if not served immediately. Add more milk if needed.
- Serve with extra pepper and parmesan cheese, if desired.
Notes
- Be careful not to rapidly boil the milk as it will curdle. Bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat and add the pasta immediately to prevent curdling.
