Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook 12 oz fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.

    Season 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.

  4. 4

    In the same skillet, add 3 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

    Add 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens.

    Slice the cooked chicken and add it to the sauce along with the drained fettuccine. Toss to coat everything evenly.

  8. 8

    Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving.
