Instructions
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Crispy Garlic-Herb Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
3. Cook the Pasta
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.
Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain.
4. Make the Creamy Ricotta Alfredo Sauce
While the chicken grills and potatoes roast, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Sauté garlic until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Add ricotta cheese and lemon zest, whisking until the ricotta is fully incorporated and the sauce is velvety. Season with salt and pepper.
Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing gently. Add reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
5. Assemble & Serve
Serve the creamy ricotta herb Alfredo pasta topped with the herb-marinated grilled chicken slices and crispy garlic-herb roasted potatoes on the side.

A bright and comforting dish where the creamy ricotta elevates the classic Alfredo to a new level of indulgence! The lemon and herbs add a lovely freshness, perfectly complementing the tender chicken and crispy potatoes.
