Chicken Alfredo with Vegetables Recipe
On weeknights, I'm always on the search for recipes for delicious and healthy meals for my family that also don't take too much time to prepare. Last night, I created this yummy chicken and vegetable pasta that combines all those things. For a rich sauce that tastes like it takes hours, here's my secret: Alfredo Sauce! I once heard a story about Alfredo.
Supposedly there was a chef named Alfredo, and his pregnant wife asked him to make her something that she could stomach. A sauce of cream, butter, parmesan, salt, and pepper did the trick. He liked it so much that he put it on the menu of his restaurant, and the rest is history. I have no idea if that is true or not, but it's a cute story. I digress; It is time to check out the Chicken Alfredo with Vegetables Recipe and let us know what you think!

Chicken Alfredo with Vegetables Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound chicken, cut into thin strips
- 1 red or orange bell pepper, cut in strips
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 oz chicken stock
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups cream
- 2 1/2 – 3 cups Parmesan cheese
- 1 pound pasta, cooked to package directions
- 1/3 cup diced tomatoes
- Chopped Italian parsley for garnish
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- thyme to taste
Directions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan until hot. Add the chicken and saute' for a couple of minutes, then add the mushrooms and peppers. Saute until the vegetables have softened and chicken is mostly cooked (that's a technical term…like 3/4 cooked).
- Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock. Add the butter and stir till melted, then add the cream. Bring to a boil for about a minute, and then add the pasta and Parmesan cheese. Start with 2 1/2 cups of cheese and stir until melted. If the sauce is too thin, add a little more Parmesan and melt. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate and garnish with the diced tomatoes and chopped parsley.

Yum! I love Chicken Alfredo pasta! I haven’t tried the Prego Alfredo sauce, but it looks delicious!
That sounds so good. My whole family would love this meal!
That looks so colorful and yummy! But my second thought is “that plate is so pretty, too!!” I’ll be over in ten minutes with my own fork!
This sounds and looks delicious. We eat a lot of pasta and love our Prego sauces!
The Prego Alfredo is my favorite. It is low in carbs, which is something I need to be mindful of. It tastes great with zoodles or spaghetti squash. Its thick and creamy, the way alfredo should be.
Yum, I love a good chicken alfredo recipe. I could go for a dish like this right about now.
That looks so good! I am a huge fan of alfredo and also a fan of easy dishes. Adding this to our rotation of new dishes to try!
I love Alfredo sauce and this looks so fresh! I know my family would love this recipe.
I do love me some Prego sauce, but haven’t ever tried their Alfredo. I definitely need to grab a jar next time I am at the grocers. The recipe sounds scrumptious!
It’s hard to beat anything with Alfredo sauce. I’m looking forward to a wonderful 2016. This delicious chicken vegetable Alfredo fits right into my plans.
I do love me some good pasta dishes.
I like the alfredo in my pasta dishes too. And Happy New Year to you!
I love simple recipes like that. You can adapt it to whatever veggies you have on hand.
Oh yum! While my family loves marinara, I always love a good alfredo recipe! The extra veggies are welcome for the new year too!
The weather is perfect for warm, comforting, and hearty meals. Pasta is always a popular choice in my house. The kids would only do red sauce when they were younger, but I’m thrilled they’re branching out and trying new options. This alfredo sounds awesome.
This looks so delicious and easy to make. My family would love this recipe. I will have to make it this weekend.
I love me some pasta! This presentation is everything!!!
I love love love Prego!! I will be trying this recipe for sure!
This chicken vegetable alfredo looks delicious! I’m a huge alfredo fan but I usually make my sauce from scratch! I’ll have to try your way! 🙂
Oh my goodness that looks DELISH! I am always looking for new dishes to add to my file of dinners!
I am always on the lookout for a good jarred Alfredo sauce. I will have to give prego a try!
Mmm, this sounds fantastic! And perfect for vegetarians, just omit the chicken!
