Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface and pat them dry with paper towels.
Rub the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season it evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the creamy sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
To serve, divide the fettuccine among plates, top with sliced chicken, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
