Some nights my family needs warm, comfy, cheesy food in a hurry.
That’s where this simple, creamy chicken Alfredo comes in!
Layers of creamy cheese topped with fresh parsley and shredded Parmesan make the perfect weeknight entree that any family will love!
This dish is also perfect for busy moms like you.
You won’t believe how simple it is to throw this oh-so yummy dish together!
In fact, I often make it for guests because it’s restaurant-style and fancy schmancy enough for dinner guests.
But, it gives me enough time to work on a fantastic salad and luxurious dessert to top off the perfect meal.
I can also spend extra time getting my house squeaky clean and visitor friendly.
Whether it’s your family that you’re trying to impress or some long-time friends, this dish does the trick — without a lot of hassle!
For many years I thought I could only get this cheesy, yummy goodness in Italian or seafood restaurants, but I was so wrong.
Those restaurants were keeping their lips sealed on how simple it was to make chicken or crab alfredo.
I can get this dish on the table in 30 minutes or less!
Go ahead and set your timer if you don’t believe me — I DOUBLE dog dare you!
Do you have a dinner guest who eats a gluten free diet? I just serve this as a cheesy soup sans the noodles. Sometimes I serve it for my gluten-free guests over white rice, gluten-free pasta, or baked spaghetti squash.

This is good. I know because I have eaten it.
Awww…thanks honey! I love making stuff you like:)
This recipe was so easy, and can be adjusted to a lower fat content with similar taste by using low-fat whipping cream and low-fat cheese…but, if you are going to truly enjoy this, go for the higher-fat options that are indicated in the recipe and live a little!
