Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 bag lightly breaded chicken breast chunks in the freezer section
  • 1½ pounds fettuccine pasta One 16 ounce package and half of another
  • 2½ cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter salted butter okay - 4 tbs = 1/4 cup of butter or 1/2 stick of butter
  • 1½ tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • We laid parchment paper with holes in it, on the air fryer basket, although not necessary. Put the frozen breaded chicken breast chunks in a single layer on top of the parchment paper. Air fry the chicken breast chunks at 385 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
  • In a large frying pan, add the unsalted butter and minced garlic. Sauté on medium-high heat just until the butter is melted.
  • Add the heavy cream and black pepper to the frying pan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Add in the Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly and keep stirring until the mixture thickens. Reduce the heat to low and stir occasionally so it won't stick to the bottom of the skillet.
  • Prepare the fettuccine pasta according to instructions on the package.
  • Add the thickened Alfredo sauce to the fettuccine pasta. Stir until all is blended well.
  • When the chicken breast chunks are done in the air fryer, remove them and cut each piece in half.
  • Add the chicken breast chunks to the fettuccine Alfredo. Mix thoroughly on low heat until all is heated through.

Notes

  • If you like hot and spicy, sprinkle your serving with hot red pepper flakes.
  • Put any leftovers in the refrigerator.
  • Depending on your preference, you can use more or less lightly breaded chicken breast chunks to add to the fettuccine noodles.
