Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring for a couple of minutes until heated through.

Sauce Preparation
  1. Lower the heat and pour in the Alfredo sauce. Add the cream cheese, stirring until fully melted and combined.
  2. Stir in the cooked fettuccine. Mix well to ensure the pasta is fully coated with the creamy sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Final Assembly
  1. Slowly fold in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and blended throughout the dish.
  2. Remove from the heat, serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For freezing, portion into freezer-safe containers—this dish will keep well for about a month. To reheat, warm on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore the creamy texture.
