Creamy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe With Vegetables (25 Minutes, 10 Ingredients) High Protein Chicken Pasta Dinner Budget Italian

Last night I was pressed for time. Really, really pressed for time, but needed to throw something together that had some nutritional value for my daughters for dinner. After a quick trip to the grocery store for a few ingredients, this creamy chicken fettuccine alfredo recipe with vegetables materialized. The Italian-inspired dinner was a hit! This chicken alfredo recipe is a great alternative to those recipes from scratch when you are in a hurry.

To make this budget-friendly recipe you only need 10 simple ingredients. Here is your short shopping list for this high-protein recipe: boneless/skinless chicken breasts, chicken broth, a jar of alfredo sauce, fresh broccoli florets, celery, carrots, onion, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and fettuccine (or your favorite pasta).

Serve the creamy chicken and pasta blanketed in alfredo sauce as a high-protein dinner with your favorite side dishes. We like some garlic bread or a simple salad on the side.

Here's how to make it:

2. While chicken bakes, boil or steam the broccoli and carrots and sauté the onions and celery until softened.
3. Pour the sauce and chicken stock into a large pot. Add the cooked vegetables. 
4. Cut the chicken into cubes and add it to the pot. Season with the poultry seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper. (Add as much or little seasonings to your taste.)
