The history of Chicken Alfredo with grilled asparagus is a delightful fusion of Italian and American cuisine. This classic dish originated in Rome, where a chef named Alfredo di Lelio created the original Fettuccine Alfredo in the early 20th century. The dish gained popularity in the United States, where it was adapted to include grilled asparagus as a delicious and nutritious addition.
