How to Make Bacon Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine
- Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions.
- 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.
- Reserve 3 tablespoons of bacon drippings in the skillet.
- Season 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook chicken in the reserved bacon drippings over medium-high heat until cooked through and juices run clear (about 5-7 minutes per side).
- Drain the cooked fettuccine and add it to the skillet with the chicken.
- Stir in 1 (16-ounce) jar of Alfredo sauce (with mushrooms), 2 cups fresh spinach, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and the cooked bacon (crumbled).
- Cook and stir occasionally until heated through and spinach is wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
- 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!
