Ingredients

Scale

12 ounces Fettuccine Pasta
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, sliced into strips
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Heavy Cream
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

6. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet, tossing until the pasta is fully coated in the Alfredo sauce.

7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with extra salt or pepper.

8. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.
Add vegetables like broccoli or peas for extra nutrition.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
Pairs perfectly with garlic bread or a crisp green salad.
