Fettuccine with Chicken in a Creamy Sauce

Thanks for Sharing!

This Fettuccine with Chicken is one of the pasta dishes my youngest daughter always helps me make.  It’s a dinner you can put together in 20 minutes, making it perfect for a busy weeknight! My favorite part is the creamy garlic, basil and Parmesan cheese sauce… it’s so good!.  I hope you enjoy this Fettuccine with Chicken in a Garlic, Basil and Parmesan Sauce recipe.

I’m always looking for recipes where leftover chicken can be used.  I like to cook up a lot of chicken at the beginning of the week and add it into different recipes. Check out my Best Pressure Cooker Chicken to see how I make my chicken for the week. Pasta is the perfect vessel for leftover chicken.

The creamy sauce for this pasta is to-die-for… it’s creamy deliciousness!

I won’t torture you any more.  You can check out the recipe below.  I used my Frozen Herbs in this dish (LOVE them) but you can use fresh too.

Here’s the pasta recipe…
