Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccini pasta
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove the chicken, let it rest for 5 minutes, and slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden and tender. Stir occasionally to allow even cooking.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked fettuccini to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and gently mix it into the pasta.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
