How to Make Mama's Chicken And Shrimp Alfredo From Scratch

  1. Season chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side), then set aside to cool.
  2. Once cool, slice chicken thinly.
  3. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  4. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  5. Add shrimp and butter to the pan. Cook until pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  6. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  7. Gradually add parmesan and asiago cheese (if using), stirring constantly until melted and sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  8. Remove from heat. Stir in sliced chicken and sundried tomatoes.
  9. Serve the creamy sauce over the cooked pasta. Garnish as desired (fresh parsley, extra parmesan).
