Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 large onion, diced
• ½ pound bacon
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) box fettuccine
• 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins, cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 (16 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the fettuccini in the boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.

Step 2

Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Finely chop bacon and set aside.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the chicken, onion, and garlic in the butter until chicken is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt; continue to cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the sauce is heated through, about 5 minutes more. Add the chopped bacon and mix to serve.
