Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 oz fettuccine broken in half
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the broken fettuccine to the skillet, ensuring it is mostly submerged in the liquid. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and a creamy sauce forms.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. Ensure pasta is stirred frequently to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan and to ensure even cooking.
