Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden and fully cooked. Remove, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Toss cooked fettuccine into the Alfredo sauce, mixing to coat evenly. Add reserved pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.
- Top with sliced chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- Add broccoli or spinach for extra veggies.
