Equipment

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Preparation
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream, bringing to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
- Add fettuccine to the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the cream. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente.
Serving
- Return chicken to the pot and stir in Parmesan cheese until sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley before serving.
Storage
- Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
