I don't know about your family, but my family inhales Fettucine Alfredo at just about any Italian restaurant we visit. Since, I don't like using the pre-made jars of Alfredo sauce, I  knew there had to be a yummy way to make it at home too, but it's been awhile since I tried it.

This Chicken Fettucine Alfredo was delicious, however it makes a TON of sauce (seriously . . . a LOT), so if you have a smaller family definitely halve the ingredients. (Or do what I did and make the whole recipe and freeze the extras . . . that way you'll have dinner ready to go the next time your craving Italian!)

With all the great deals on chicken this  week, you can bet we'll be eating a bunch of chicken recipes this week. (Meat prices have been so high lately!)  Serve it up with some homemade bread and a side salad, and you've got dinner tonight. Yum!
