Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should read 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.
Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and the sauce is smooth. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the Parmesan sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly, adding the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place on top of the Parmesan noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
