Ingredients:
  • For the Chicken:

    • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

    For the Alfredo Sauce:

    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 cups heavy cream
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley, for garnish

    For the Pasta:

    • 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
    • Salt for pasta water
    • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
    Instructions:

  1. Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Chicken:

      • Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
      • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
      • Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
      • Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
    2. Cook the Pasta:

      • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
      • Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
      • Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
    3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:

      • In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
      • Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
      • Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
      • Reduce the heat to low, then gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
      • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
    4. Combine Everything:

      • Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for a few minutes until the chicken is heated through.
      • Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy sauce until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, use some of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

    5. Serve:

      • Divide the Chicken Alfredo among four plates.
      • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
      • Serve hot and enjoy!
