Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine (or preferred pasta)
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream

- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions in salted boiling water, reserving 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

- Sauté the minced garlic in the remaining butter in the same skillet for about 30 seconds.
- Make the Alfredo sauce by pouring in the heavy cream and simmering it on low heat for 3-5 minutes to thicken.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Adjust the consistency using reserved pasta water if needed.
- Combine the cooked pasta and chicken with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly, and remove from heat.
