Description

A delightful meal combining tender chicken with a creamy sauce and pasta, perfect for any day of the week.


Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then cook in the skillet until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic, sautéing for one minute before adding the heavy cream to thicken.
  4. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together in the sauce until well combined.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Italian seasoning if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add grated Parmesan cheese on top or serve with garlic bread.
