Restaurant-Worthy Chicken Fettuccine in 10-Minutes Flat

Think of what makes your favorite restaurant chicken fettuccine so delicious. More than likely, it’s the creamy sauce, the satisfying pieces of flavorful chicken, savory mushrooms, and mouth-watering aromatics.

Our It’s Skinny chicken fettuccine recipe has everything you love. We use cremini mushrooms that have a deep, meaty, savory flavor. If you’re unfamiliar with cremini mushrooms, these little flavor bombs are a variety of white button mushrooms or “Agaricus bisporus.”

Our favorite mushrooms go through different stages of growth. White button mushrooms are the first, earliest stage. As mushrooms age, they become cremini or "baby bella” mushrooms, which have a slightly deeper flavor and more complexity. If the mushrooms continued to grow, they would eventually become big, hearty portobellos.

We also use leeks in this chicken fettuccine recipe. Leeks are a member of the allium or onion family. They resemble big green onions. Unlike their other onion counterparts, leeks are mild in flavor and easy to use in many different recipes. Leeks soften easily with a short sauteing time, which makes them ideal for quick recipes.

Leeks grow in sandy soil, so they often have some residual dirt beneath their many layers. These tender vegetables grow best when they have plenty of drainage, and growers often pile the soil around the base to preserve the soft white portion of the leek. This means they require a little extra cleaning.

Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to clean leeks and well worth the effort. First, remove the bottom root portion and the tougher green parts at the top. Slice the white middle section of the leek lengthwise and place the pieces in a bowl of water. Give a few swishes; the sandy dirt will move to the bottom, while the leek will float to the top. Remove each piece of leek from the bowl and chop.

We added spinach to this It's Skinny Fettuccine dish as well. Spinach is full of vitamins and flavor. It has lots of fiber, potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. In addition, this dark leafy green is high in folic acid, iron, calcium, and more. It's such a healthy vegetable, and it contrasts nicely with the other flavors in this chicken fettuccine dish.

It’s Skinny Fettuccine: The Secret to Low-Carb Comfort

If you follow keto or another low-carb diet plan, you’ve probably cut back (or cut out) all those yummy comfort foods like everyone’s favorite—PASTA.

Surprise! It’s Skinny lets you have your favorite pasta dishes your way. You can still enjoy the flavors and satisfaction of a hearty, comforting bowl of delicious pasta noodles without feeling like you need to reset your eating habits tomorrow. This is guilt-free pasta, baby! No carb coma and no guilt, just deliciousness.

How does It’s Skinny get so…skinny? It’s Skinny is made from a unique root vegetable called konjac. Konjac is well known in Asia and the Middle East, but many people in the United States aren’t as familiar with the benefits of this little root.

Konjac is high in a special kind of fiber called glucomannan. Glucomannan is known to keep you full and keep your blood sugar steady. Because It’s Skinny is made from konjac, it’s the perfect way to fill up without feeling weighed down.

Questions About Chicken Fettuccine

We often get a few questions about customizing recipes. It’s Skinny is easy for everyone to make their way! Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the most of your chicken fettuccine.

Can I Use Any Type of Chicken?

We chose chicken thighs for this dish because they’re succulent, juicy, and so delicious! Chicken thighs are often more flavorful than chicken breasts, making them a terrific option (and they’re often cheaper to boot).

But if you have chicken breasts on hand, you can certainly use them in this recipe. You could also use shredded rotisserie chicken. Cook or prepare your chicken however you like—grilled, broiled, or sauteed. Then, just shred or cut it into small pieces, and you're ready to make this dish!

Can I Leave Out Mushrooms? Swap Leeks for Onions?

Mushrooms are delicious, but we get it! Not everyone is a mushroom lover. It’s no problem to leave out the mushrooms in this dish. You could use extra chicken or try another ingredient like sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, or broccoli.

White button mushrooms are delicious if you can't find cremini or baby bella mushrooms. Diced portobello mushrooms would work, and even shitake or oyster mushrooms would play nicely with the surrounding flavors.

As for other swaps, any onion would work in this dish perfectly fine. If you don't have leeks on hand, you could try green onion, white onions, or shallots. Leeks cook quickly, so you may need to adjust cooking times slightly if you choose another onion option.

As for the spinach, you can use any leafy green you like. Baby kale would be an easy swap if you're running low on spinach. Of course, you could use frozen spinach as well.

Do I Need to Boil It’s Skinny Noodles?

New to the world of It’s Skinny? Cooking with It’s Skinny Pasta could not be easier. All you do is open the package, drain and set it aside. Some folks like to rinse the noodles and pat them dry, but it's really not necessary.

When your other ingredients are ready, add the It's Skinny Pasta to the pan, heat through, and enjoy. That's it! You don't need to boil water and wait for your pasta to get al dente. It's Skinny is ready to enjoy in just 1-2 minutes of cooking.

Best of all, It’s Skinny takes on the flavors of the surrounding ingredients. It won’t overpower your dish like some other pasta swaps. The flavors come from your sauce, aromatics, and surrounding ingredients. It’s the ideal base for any meal.
