01 Step
Recipe View
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package directions, about 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. (8-10 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
During the last 3 to 5 minutes of the pasta's cooking time, add the asparagus to the pot. Cook until the asparagus is tender-crisp. (3-5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Drain the pasta and asparagus well, then transfer to a large bowl.
04 Step
Recipe View
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Pour in the half-and-half cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and begins to bubble gently, about 5 to 7 minutes. (5-7 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Season the sauce with garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine.
07 Step
Recipe View
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. (1 minute)
08 Step
Recipe View
Add the cooked chicken pieces to the sauce and heat through, about 2 to 3 minutes. (2-3 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Pour the creamy Alfredo sauce over the drained pasta and asparagus. Toss gently to coat evenly.
10 Step
Recipe View
Serve immediately, garnished with extra grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
For an even richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the finished dish for a bright, citrusy flavor.
If you don’t have cooked chicken on hand, rotisserie chicken works perfectly.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will melt more smoothly into the sauce.
To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the chicken.

Apr 7, 2025The sauce was a little too thick for my liking, so I added a splash of pasta water to thin it out. It worked perfectly!
