Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter

  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions; reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook sliced chicken until golden and fully cooked; remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute.
  4. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
