Ingredients

The chicken

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil

The sauce

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp chopped parsley (optional garnish)

The pasta

  • 8 oz fettuccine

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning and salt.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add cooking oil, and cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken and reduce the skillet heat to medium-low.
  4. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  6. Meanwhile, boil water for the fettuccine, add pasta, and cook until tender, reserving ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  7. Once the cream is simmering, whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Add the drained pasta to the sauce, tossing to combine, and adjust thickness with reserved pasta water if necessary.
  9. Slice the cooked chicken and serve on top of the pasta, garnishing with parsley if desired.
