Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb fettuccine pasta
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.

Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Add Cheese to Sauce

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Cook the Pasta

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.

Step 5: Combine Pasta and Sauce

Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to reach desired consistency.

Step 6: Slice and Layer Chicken

Slice the cooked chicken and layer it on top of the pasta. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while it’s hot and enjoy your creamy creation!

Notes

Chicken Cooking Time

Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.

Cheese Quality

For the best flavor and texture, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated.

Pasta Tips

Be careful not to overcook the fettuccine; al dente pasta will hold up better in the sauce.

Serving Suggestions

This dish pairs well with a light salad and garlic bread for a complete meal.
