Chicken Alfredo Recipe
Chicken Alfredo is one of my favourite Pasta dishes when visiting Vapianos, and it’s actually super easy to make! You can adjust the quantity of ingredients to suit your taste – we enjoy it quite spicy so we go heavy on the red chilli flakes, but you can adjust/add pretty much anything you wish to personalise this recipe!

Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 250 g Pasta
- 250 g Chicken Cubed
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 5 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Onion Small
- 120 g Mushrooms
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- ½ Tsp Red Chilli Flakes
- 1 & ½ Tbsp Cornflour
- 400 ml Milk
- 150 ml Double Cream
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- ½ Tsp Nutmeg
- 50 g Cheese
- 1 Tbsp Coriander
- 1 Tbsp Basil
Instructions
- Start by cooking 250g of pasta following the instructions for the pack (any pasta that you have in your cupboard will work great, in this recipe we’ve used Linguine)
- Pour in 4 Tbsp of oil into a pan over medium heat, add in the chopped garlic cloves, finely chopped onion, chopped mushrooms, salt and pepper (I used 1/2 Tsp of both) and cook until the onions become brown. You can also add 1 Tsp of butter in after a few minutes to help
- Once the onions have browned, add in the diced chicken and cook until the chicken starts to get a golden brown colour
- Add in the red chilli flakes (depending on how spicy you’d like it, you can adjust this to your liking – or put none at all if you’d prefer), and continue cooking
- Once the chicken is cooked, add in the cornflour, milk, double cream and Hellmann’s Mayonnaise and mix
- Add in the nutmeg and then the cheese, mixing after adding each, and continue to stir until the mixture becomes thick
- Add in some coriander and basil to add some flavour, and also a touch of colour!
- Once the mixture is at your desired level of thickness, pour it over the cooked pasta (which has had its water sieved out) and continue to stir for 1 minute to ensure you’ve fully mixed in the sauce
- Garnish with a bit of Basil and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
You can really adapt this recipe to your taste! If you’re not a fan of spicy food, then you can skip adding the Red Chilli Flakes – or if you are, add in more than just half a teaspoon!
