Ingredients

• 400 grams Fettuccini pasta
• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the fettuccini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest, and set the pasta aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the garlic and butter mixture. Allow the cream to warm for 2-3 minutes, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the cooked fettuccini pasta to the skillet and toss it gently in the sauce to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Stir in the sliced chicken and let it heat through in the pan for 1-2 minutes. Squeeze in the lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side. Enjoy this comforting and flavorful Fettuccini Dell Aglio Con Pollo!
