Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 8 ounces Fettuccine or linguine pasta
• 1 pot Water for boiling pasta
• 1 teaspoon Salt for pasta water

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, drain the rest, and set the pasta aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream reduces slightly.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, one handful at a time, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water if needed.

Step 7

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips or bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet, allowing them to warm in the Alfredo sauce for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the Chicken Breasts Alfredo immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
