12 oz fettuccine pasta
1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Boil salted water in a large pot, add fettuccine, and cook until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.
Prepare the Sauce: Add minced garlic to the skillet drippings; sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and simmer on low heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted (3-5 minutes).
Combine: Slice the chicken into strips, add back to the sauce along with drained pasta. Toss gently until well-coated.
Serve: Plate hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and cracked pepper if desired.
