Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 8 oz fettuccine noodles
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Boil salted water in a large pot. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in heavy cream and stir in grated Parmesan until melted and creamy.
- Slice chicken into strips and add back to the sauce along with the cooked fettuccine. Toss gently to coat, adjusting seasoning with more black pepper if desired.
- Plate the dish garnished with chopped parsley for an elegant touch.
