Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Ingredients:

• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and cook chicken until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add back to the skillet along with the cooked fettuccine. Toss everything together until well coated in the sauce.
6. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
