Ingredients for Bacon Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine

  • Fettuccine Pasta
  • 6 slices bacon
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • 1 (16-ounce) jar Alfredo sauce (with mushrooms)

How to Make Bacon Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, cook 6 slices bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain.
  3. Reserve 3 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.
  4. Season 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cook chicken in the reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat until cooked through and juices run clear (about 5-7 minutes per side).
  6. Drain the cooked fettuccine and add it to the skillet with the chicken.
  7. Stir in 1 (16-ounce) jar of Alfredo sauce (with mushrooms), 2 cups fresh spinach, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and the cooked bacon (crumbled).
  8. Cook and stir occasionally until heated through and spinach is wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Serve immediately, sprinkled with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
