Ingredients

Scale

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
12 oz fettuccine pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and let rest.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream, reduce heat to low, and simmer while whisking frequently.
Gradually stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Slice rested chicken and return to the skillet along with cooked fettuccine; toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley.
