Instructions
Creating your own Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is a breeze with these simple steps:
1. Boil Pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the fettuccine. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce is smooth. Add Italian seasoning and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, followed by the drained pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Following these steps will help you create a dish that is not only easy to prepare but also incredibly satisfying.
