Ingredients:
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 2 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside.

Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and slice into strips.
-
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Slowly whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
-
Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, stir well to get it coated with the creamy sauce. Simmer for a couple more minutes to let the flavors meld together.
-
Finally, toss the cooked fettuccine into the creamy chicken mixture, ensuring every strand of pasta is luxuriously coated. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
-
To serve, plate your Creamy Chicken Alfredo Pasta with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Add extra parmesan if desired.
