Ingredients

• 8 oz (225g) fettuccine pasta
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• Chopped parsley for garnish

Preparations

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and butter, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and add the cooked pasta to the sauce.
6. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the pasta.
7. Toss everything together in the skillet to coat the pasta and chicken with the sauce.
8. Serve the creamy chicken Alfredo in individual plates, garnished with chopped parsley.

Tips

• You can add sautéed mushrooms or steamed broccoli to the pasta for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more cream or pasta water if needed.
