Chicken Alfredo is a classic Italian-American pasta dish, made with fettuccine pasta, grilled chicken, and a creamy Alfredo sauce. The sauce is typically made with butter, heavy cream, garlic, and parmesan cheese to create a rich, velvety texture that perfectly coats the pasta and chicken. π A Brief History of Chicken Alfredo The original Alfredo sauce was created in the early 20th century by Alfredo di Lelio, an Italian chef in Rome. He made the sauce for his pregnant wife, who had trouble eating. The dish was originally called Fettuccine Alfredo and was served without chicken. The American version of Chicken Alfredo became popular in the 1940s after being introduced to the U.S. by Hollywood actors.
