Halal Chicken Alfredo Pasta Recipe

A few days ago, we invited some guests and I cooked the easy chicken alfredo pasta that day. Guess what? The entire pasta was disappeared in just a few minutes! Halal chicken alfredo pasta recipe is definitely my favorite halal comfort food recipe because it’s so easy to prepare. It's creamy and rich taste makes it perfect for a quick halal weeknight dinner.

By swapping regular chicken for halal-certified chicken and ensuring no wine or pork-based ingredients, this dish becomes a wholesome treat for everyone. Whether you use penne or fettuccine, this homemade halal pasta is bound to impress.

Which ingredient substitutes make it a halal recipe?

Chicken: Use halal-certified chicken, easily available at halal butchers or select grocery stores.

Alfredo Sauce that is “alcohol-free”: You can skip a ready-made alfredo sauce as it might contain wine. Its better to make fresh and creamy saucefrom scratch (just read this recipe till the end and you’ll be an expert in preparing this yummy sauce!)

Halal Cheese: It’s tricky to know if Parmesan cheese is really halal or not (depending on the manufacturers). Traditional Parmesan cheese, often used in Alfredo pasta, is usually not halal because it contains animal-derived enzymes. To make this recipe fully halal, simply skip Parmesan cheese and use this creamy, delicious blend instead:

A Blend of Mozzarella + Cheddar + Cream Cheese:

For a rich, velvety Alfredo texture, combine:

• ½ cup shredded halal mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup halal cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp halal cream cheese

This trio melts beautifully, giving your sauce that indulgent, cheesy flavor without any need for Parmesan. It’s the perfect halal-friendly substitute that keeps your pasta creamy and flavorful while maintaining complete peace of mind about your ingredients.

Equipment Required

• Large pot for boiling pasta
• Deep skillet or sauté pan
• Wooden spoon
• Strainer
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tongs or pasta fork

Ingredients

• 1 lb halal chicken breast (sliced into strips)
• 12 oz fettuccine pasta or penne pasta
• 2 tbsp halal butter
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 cup halal-certified heavy cream
• ¾ cup halal milk
• Halal cheese blend (½ cup shredded halal mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup halal cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp halal cream cheese)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Directions

1. Boil your pasta:

Take a large pot, add salt and water to it, and boil the water. Once it shows bubbles, add the pasta to it and boil it until it's done. Don’t overcook it because the creamy sauce clings better when the pasta still has a little bite.

2. Cook the halal chicken:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the halal chicken breast strips, season with salt, pepper, and oregano, and sauté until golden and cooked through (about 6–7 minutes). For extra juiciness, avoid overcrowding the pan. When it’s done, remove it and set aside.

3. Make the homemade halal Alfredo sauce:

In the same pan, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (that aroma is always my favorite part). Stir in the heavy cream and milk, letting it simmer gently. Whisk in the halal cheese blend (the mixture of ½ cup shredded halal mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup halal cheddar cheese, and 2 tbsp halal cream cheese) slowly to create a velvety halal white sauce pasta recipe base.

4. Combine everything:

Add cooked pasta to the sauce, followed by the chicken. Toss well so that each strand is coated in creamy goodness.

5. Add a touch of freshness:

Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle chopped parsley on top. I find this small step really brightens up the flavor of this halal Italian-inspired pasta.

6. Serve warm:

Plate this yummy homemade chicken alfredo pasta while it’s still creamy and hot.

Pro tip

You can meal-prep the chicken in advance to save time on weeknights when you need a quick halal dinner recipe.

Want to add extra flavor?

You can add a few sautéed capsicum pieces to this halal alfredo pasta. Trust me, it’s a hit every time during our halal family dinner! I like to add a bit of milk to the creamy chicken alfredo pasta right before serving it. It’s a lifesaver if the sauce feels too thick later.

How to store leftover halal chicken alfredo pasta

Store the leftover pasta in an airtight container. You can refrigerate it for 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of milk to bring back the creamy consistency. I often make an extra batch of halal alfredo pasta with chicken for lunch the next day.
