How to Make Green Chile Chicken Alfredo

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
  2. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 4 ounces of chopped green chiles (about 1-2 canned chiles, depending on heat preference). Sauté over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and garlic is softened.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Pour in 1 (16-ounce) jar of Alfredo sauce. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Heat through for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.
  6. Serve the chicken Alfredo sauce immediately over 1 pound of cooked fettuccine. Garnish with chopped jalapeños to taste.
