Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and whisk to combine, cooking for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Then, stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and smooth. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the cooked fettuccine and gently mix until everything is evenly coated.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy chicken fettuccine!
