Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 quarts Water
- 1 tablespoon Salt (for pasta water)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven’s broiler and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts on a broiler-safe pan and broil for 6-8 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C). Remove and set aside to rest.
Step 4
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and the fettuccine pasta. Cook according to the package instructions (about 10-12 minutes) until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta, then set the pasta aside.
Step 5
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
Step 10
Slice the broiled chicken breasts into thin strips.
Step 11
Plate the fettuccine on serving dishes and top with slices of broiled chicken.
Step 12
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
