Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let it simmer gently for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the Alfredo sauce.

Step 9

Top the pasta with the sliced chicken and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, homemade chicken Alfredo!
