Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice, then stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.

Step 5

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and dried Italian herbs until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well combined and the pasta is fully coated in the creamy sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
