What On Earth Is This Taco Chicken Alfredo Abomination?

Eat to live, don’t live to eat. — Benjamin Franklin.

What on earth is this taco chicken alfredo abomination? This “recipe” seems to be a mishmash of ingredients thrown together without any thought or respect for traditional cooking methods. Rather than subjecting yourself to such culinary chaos, how about preparing a classic Chicken Alfredo dish instead? Here’s a proper recipe for an authentic Chicken Alfredo, free from any taco seasoning nonsense.

Classic Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound fettuccine pasta
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until it’s no longer pink in the middle, about 7–8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer.
3. Cook the fettuccine pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain the pasta well and add it to the skillet with the cream sauce.
4. Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and add it to the skillet as well. Stir everything together until the pasta and chicken are coated in the creamy sauce.
5. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss everything together until the cheese melts and forms a smooth sauce.
6. Serve the Chicken Alfredo in bowls, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Wine Pairing

Pair this classic Chicken Alfredo with a crisp Chardonnay, such as the Rombauer Vineyards Carneros Chardonnay, to complement the creamy richness of the dish with its buttery notes and hints of oak.
