Ingredients
1 lb fettuccine pasta
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Olive oil
Directions
- Cook the Fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a bit of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Combine Everything: Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy Alfredo sauce.
- Serve: Transfer the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious homemade pasta dish!
