Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by dicing the chicken and mincing the garlic.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté chicken pieces seasoned with salt and pepper until golden brown (5-7 minutes). Remove chicken from pot.
- Add minced garlic to the same pot; cook until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in uncooked fettuccine and enough water to cover by an inch.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring until well combined; simmer until pasta is al dente (about 10 minutes).
- Return chicken to the pot and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
