Browned Butter Chicken Alfredo with Pasta is so easy to make and is sure to impress even your very pickiest guests!

Don’t let the name of this recipe make you nervous at all!  It’s seriously easy-peasy to make and the best part is your family and friends will want to know the ‘secret’ to the sauce.  You don’t have to tell them but the trick is browning the butter!   It brings in a rich and full flavor that most alfredo sauce recipes don’t have.

So yah, make it and impress the pants off of them all 🙂

This dish is total comfort food for me.  It’s just too rich and cheesy and delicious not to be so indulge and enjoy every once in awhile. I sure do!

Be sure to grab a crusty loaf of bread or baguette at the grocery store for dipping in that delicious Browned Butter Alfredo Sauce and you’ll be in HEAVEN!!
