Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 quarts Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and add them back to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the sauce and chicken.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Fettuccine Con Pollo!
