Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo 

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

1 pound fettuccine pasta

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

For the Sauce

1/2 cup butter, cut into slices

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 clove garlic, minced

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain well. Set aside.

Season chicken breasts with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once it’s shimmering, swirl the pan so it’s evenly distributed. Add the chicken and don’t move them for 5-7 minutes, until the bottom is golden-brown. Turn over and add 1 tablespoon of butter between them, and gently swirl to distribute. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Place the chicken on a cutting board and let rest for a few minutes. Cut them into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Tent with foil to keep warm, and set aside.

Decrease the heat to medium-low, and in the same pan, add the butter and cream and whisk until butter has melted.

Add in the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and whisk until combined and smooth.

Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken.

Stir in the parmesan cheese just until melted and the sauce is smooth. (If the sauce ends up too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, to thin it out.)

Toss the sauce with the fettuccine. Serve the pasta with the chicken on top and garnish with parsley, more Parmesan, and black pepper, if desired.
