Ingredients
  

12 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

    Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

      Prepare Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken back to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

          Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
