Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and unsalted butter to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it in the Alfredo sauce to coat evenly.

  6. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine, allowing the pasta to soak up the creamy sauce.

  7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  8. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

  9. Serve the Chicken Alfredo Pasta hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
