Method
Cook the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- Once cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken to the sauce, tossing to combine everything evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve
- Divide the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo among plates.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes
