Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season chicken slices with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining butter and minced garlic. Cook gently until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously, and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until fully melted and sauce is smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Add the cooked pasta and chicken back to the skillet. Toss gently until everything is well-coated with the sauce.
- Transfer to serving plates or a large bowl, garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
