Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until melted and creamy. Mix in the BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.

        Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat the noodles evenly. Then, add the sliced chicken on top and gently mix.

          Finish: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the dish, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm pasta. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Plate the creamy chicken alfredo and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
