Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream for the sauce
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for serving
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- Cook the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breasts, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously to blend flavors.
- Add Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and sauce thickens. If too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it with the sauce until evenly coated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through.
- Serve: Remove from heat, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve immediately. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

For best flavor, use fresh ingredients. Adjust seasoning before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
