Ingredients
Scale
8 oz of fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt and pepper, to season
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
Optional: a pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
Boil the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Save about 1 cup of pasta water before draining—this will help create a luscious sauce.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and increase the heat to medium-high. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it slightly thickens.
Add Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth.
Combine: Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce and chicken. Toss everything together until well combined.
Finishing Touches: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a pinch of nutmeg, then adjust seasoning to taste.
