Garlic: Fresh garlic gives the sauce a brighter taste, but you can use more garlic powder if you prefer.
Butter: Using real butter makes the sauce extra-tasty.
Pasta: Fettuccine pasta is preferred, but linguine or even spaghetti can also be used.
Seasonings: You don’t need any fancy seasonings to make mouthwatering chicken fettuccine alfredo! Just a little garlic powder, and a little bit of Italian Seasoning blend.
Chicken: I like to use boneless skinless chicken breast, but thighs will also work.
