In a hurry to get a delicious dinner on the table? We made fettuccine Alfredo—one of the most basic recipes around—even more effortless. The key is to cook the chicken from frozen. Add creamy Alfredo-coated pasta, and bacon (’cause why not), for a stress-free weeknight staple that always hits the spot.

Not only is using unthawed chicken safe, it’s a total time-saver. These new ones from Tyson are thinner sliced than before and have a faster cook time. We recommend cooking frozen chicken one of two ways: Sauté on the stovetop in a pan, like in this recipe, or bake it in the oven. Tyson recommends 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which you can confirm with the help of an inexpensive food thermometer. 

Frozen chicken, like all other meat, needs proper seasoning. Make sure to hit both sides of your chicken breast with a generous amount of your chosen flavor-boosters. We used kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for this recipe, but virtually any of your go-to dried herbs and spices will work their magic.
