Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 oz fettuccine pasta (or any pasta of choice)

2 tbsp olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tbsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Directions

Prepare the Chicken:

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. Once cooled slightly, slice into strips.

Cook the Pasta:

In a large pot, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, saving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Make the Sauce:

In the same skillet used for the chicken, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the flour (if using) and cook for 1 minute to create a roux.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

Combine and Serve:

Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Toss in the cooked pasta, adding some of the reserved pasta water if needed to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
Add the sliced chicken back to the skillet and mix until everything is well combined.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional) to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!
