Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- Parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Begin by seasoning chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to low and add heavy cream, stirring continuously until the cream begins to simmer.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook on low heat until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and add them to the sauce, heating everything through.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
