Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.3 lbs total
  • 8 oz Fettuccine
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • ¾ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley Chopped, for optional garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning and a pinch of salt.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl it to coat the skillet.
  • Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about two minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and whisk to combine. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer.
  • Meanwhile, boil a pot of water and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Reserve about ½ cup of the cooking water before draining the pasta.
  • Once the cream is simmering, whisk in the grated Parmesan until melted and sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss well to combine, using reserved pasta water if needed.
  • Slice the cooked chicken and place it atop the pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor, avoid overcooking garlic, and adjust creaminess with reserved pasta water.
