Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 8 oz fettuccine
Chicken
  • 2 chicken breasts (sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
Sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Pot
  • Skillet
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken until golden and cooked through with a tender texture.
  3. Remove chicken and sauté garlic until fragrant without burning.
  4. Add heavy cream and simmer gently, then stir in parmesan until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Return pasta and chicken to the skillet, tossing until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Serve warm with a silky texture, ensuring sauce clings to each strand.

Notes

Cook pasta slightly firm for best texture. Avoid overheating sauce to prevent separation. Freezing is not recommended as texture may change. Toss gently during assembly. Customize with vegetables or herbs. Store leftovers in refrigerator up to three days and reheat slowly for best results.
