Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
• Parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine with the mushrooms and garlic. Allow the cream to simmer for a few minutes, it will begin to thicken.
5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little pasta water or additional cream. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the Alfredo sauce.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the chicken and Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve the Chicken and Mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
