Ingredients
Instructions
- Lightly sauté garlic, scallions, and chopped tomato.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add white wine and reduce slightly.
- Add heavy cream, cooked chicken, and shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Simmer for about 5 minutes, then adjust seasonings as needed.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting half of the heavy cream with low-fat Greek yogurt. Fresh basil can also be used instead of parsley for a different flavor profile. If you don't have dry white wine, chicken broth can be a good alternative. Be careful not to overcook the chicken when adding it to the sauce, as it should remain moist and tender.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Fettuccini A La Lolly with a side of garlic bread or a light Caesar salad for a complete meal. A crisp white wine pairs beautifully with the dish, enhancing the flavors of the white wine in the sauce. For an extra touch, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese and parsley on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When reheating, add a splash of chicken broth or water to the pan to prevent the pasta from drying out. Gently heat over medium-low until warmed through, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
