- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Providing tenderness and flavor.
- 8 ounces fettuccini pasta Traditional choice for Alfredo.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking the chicken.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Adds savory depth.
- 1 cup heavy cream Key ingredient for a rich sauce.
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Fresh cheese makes a difference.

Instructions
Cooking the Pasta
- Boil a big pot of salted water, then add the fettuccini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cooking the Chicken
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
Sautéing the Garlic
- Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
Making the Sauce
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens.
Combining
- Slice rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the skillet with cooked fettuccini. Toss everything until well coated with the sauce.
Garnishing and Serving
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For a creamier sauce, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Grate your own cheese for better melting. Adjust the seasoning as preferred.
