Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb chicken breast pieces and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 12 oz fettuccine pasta, 4 cups chicken broth, and 1 cup heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to submerge pasta.
  4. Step 4: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the cooked chicken and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for 2 more minutes until cheese melts and sauce thickens to coat pasta.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
