Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Lower the heat to medium-low and let the cream simmer for 3-4 minutes without boiling.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Step 7
Season the sauce with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy Alfredo sauce.
Step 9
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken breast and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your New Year's Chicken Alfredo!
