Ingredients

  • 1 lb. chicken tenderloins
  • 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp each: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder
  • 1 tsp each: cumin, oregano, salt, pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat )
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (28g)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth (240g)
  • 1 cup low-fat milk (240g) (or milk of choice)
  • 3/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese (grated or shaved + more for garnishing )
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Add water to a pot and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste. Once at a rolling boil, add fettuccine. Stir occasionally so the noodles don't stick to each other. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the noodles are al dente (they are best when not overcooked). Drain when done and set aside.
