Easy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package fettuccine
8 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
6 green onions, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper

Preparation

Cook fettuccine in boiling water for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain, reserving 1-2 tablespoons drippings.
Saute the chicken in drippings until no longer pink. Add the mushrooms and green onions; cook until mushrooms are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the cream, cheese, paprika and pepper. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.
Drain fettuccine; place in a serving bowl. Add chicken mixture; toss to coat. Garnish with additional cheese.
