Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the cream begins to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water, then drain.
Step 7
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return them to the skillet with the sauce.
Step 8
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the Alfredo sauce.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
