Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium chicken breasts
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Pot
  • Whisk
  • Tongs
  • Grater

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook them in a large skillet over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet, slice it into strips, and set aside.
  2. While the chicken cooks, prepare the fettuccine pasta according to package directions, then drain it and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  6. Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat everything evenly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce. You can also substitute chicken thighs for breasts for a richer flavor. Ensure the cream doesn't boil vigorously to prevent it from splitting.
