Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken pieces with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Add the minced garlic to the same pot and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta, stirring to ensure it doesn’t stick together.
- Return the browned chicken to the pot. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has slightly thickened.
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is creamy and heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Do not boil.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
- Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like broccoli florets or spinach during the last few minutes of cooking.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or cream.
