For the Chicken

  • 2 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil For cooking
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated

Directions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, then cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce is smooth. Sprinkle in freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to your taste.
  • Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. Drain and reserve a little pasta water, then add to the Alfredo sauce.
  • Slice the rested chicken into strips and add it to the sauce along with the pasta. Toss everything together gently, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to achieve your desired creaminess.
  • Divide the Chicken Alfredo Pasta among plates, sprinkle with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan for a delicious finish.
