Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped sundried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce thicken for 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips and add them to the sauce. Toss to coat the chicken in the creamy mixture.

Step 11

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss until the noodles are fully coated with the sauce.

Step 12

Serve the Chicken Pasta Milano warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
