Ingredients
Scale
To make this delightful dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 ounces fettuccine or your favorite pasta
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish
For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream. If you’re out of Parmesan, Pecorino Romano can also add a delightful twist.
Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to bring this dish to life:
- Start by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken strips and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the garlic. Bring to a simmer.
- Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, stirring to blend flavors.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce and chicken.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
