Like many of the recipes I make, I made this one pan chicken Alfredo at the request of my girlfriend. I did not have high expectations for it especially because I don’t consider myself a cream sauce lover, but it was so good. So good that I ended up making it for dinner two nights in a row.

The first night that I made this one pan chicken Alfredo I served it over some zucchini noodles. I make zoodles at home with my spiralizer. If you don’t want to go to the trouble of making your own many grocery stores now carry the pre-made zoodles.
If you aren’t worried about cutting carbs, this one pan chicken Alfredo recipe makes more than enough Alfredo sauce to enjoy it with a standard bowl of pasta. I recommend enjoying it with some fusilli noodles. The second time that I made this dish I served it with roasted broccoli and I was a huge fan of the cheese sauce and broccoli combo.
I just thought of this now, but if you have kids and you are trying to get them to eat their broccoli, try putting this cheese sauce from this one pan chicken Alfredo on steamed or roasted veggies. I’m not a kid and I don’t have kids, but this Alfredo sauce is so good that I was pretty much eating it by the spoonful each time I tested this recipe.
