Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 oz fettuccine pasta

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the pasta aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

        Make the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

          Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

            Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy garlic sauce until well coated. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

              Serve: Plate the creamy pasta and top it generously with sliced chicken. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
