Chicken Alfredo

Cultural Context

Originating from Rome, Chicken Alfredo is a creamy pasta dish that has become a staple in Italian-American cuisine. Traditionally made with just fettuccine and a rich butter and cheese sauce, the addition of chicken reflects American tastes for heartier meals. Today, it is enjoyed globally, with many variations incorporating different proteins and vegetables.
