Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Pasta

  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 4 strips smoked turkey bacon

Sauce

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 cup plant-based cheese
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Pasta: Season the boneless chicken breast with salt and pepper. Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a pan until crisp and set aside. Use the same pan to sauté the chicken pieces until cooked through and juicy. Meanwhile, boil the fettuccine pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Alfredo Sauce: In a pan, heat a splash of olive oil and gently cook the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the plant-based heavy cream, vegetable broth, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Slowly whisk in the plant-based cheese until melted and smooth. Sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and stir well to thicken the sauce to the perfect consistency.
  3. Combine All Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken and crispy smoked turkey bacon strips to the sauce, allowing the flavors to meld. Toss in the cooked fettuccine pasta and gently combine until all pasta strands are coated evenly with the Alfredo sauce. Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley for a bright, fresh touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for a richer flavor compared to pre-minced garlic.
  • Avoid overcooking the chicken; cook until it reaches 165°F (75°C) internally to keep it juicy.
  • Reserve some pasta water to loosen the sauce if it becomes too thick.
  • Add plant-based cheese slowly while whisking to avoid lumps and achieve a creamy sauce.
  • Let the dish rest a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to blend.
