  • Author: Chef Mia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
– 12 oz. fettuccine pasta
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Optional: Cherry tomatoes, spinach, or bell peppers for added flavor


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.

4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

5. Add Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce. Combine the sliced chicken and stir until everything is evenly mixed.

7. Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your flavorful Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta!
