  • Author: Neriah

Ingredients

Scale

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (sliced)

12 oz fettuccine pasta

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 ½ cups heavy cream

1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

½ cup cream cheese (softened)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ cup pasta water (reserved)

2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)


Instructions

Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Add the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.

Toss in the cooked fettuccine and mix well.

Return the chicken to the pan, coating it in the creamy sauce.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
