Preparation Steps

  • Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Season the diced chicken and shrimp with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the diced chicken. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove chicken and set aside with the shrimp.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the Alfredo sauce.
  • Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet and toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce and proteins.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream to restore the sauce's consistency.
