Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should read 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 5

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and the sauce is smooth. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Step 7

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the Parmesan sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly, adding the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

Step 8

Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place on top of the Parmesan noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
