  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 32 minute

Ingredients

– 8 oz fettuccine pasta

– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Making Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is straightforward. Follow these clear steps to create this delicious dish:

1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
4. Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat slightly and add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer for a minute. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Add the drained pasta and sliced chicken into the skillet, tossing until everything is well combined and coated in the sauce.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve while hot, garnished with more grated Parmesan if desired.

By following these steps, you will create a dish that’s creamy, cheesy, and bursting with flavors.
