One Pan Chicken Alfredo

I have to start this blog by saying that I am a red sauce kind of gal. I always thought it was weird when people ordered white pizza or Alfredo pasta over the other option, but this one pan chicken Alfredo successfully changed my mind.

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.
