Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the cream begins to thicken slightly.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water, then drain.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return them to the skillet with the sauce.
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the Alfredo sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
