Ingredients
- 4 ounces dry fettuccine
- 5 ounces boneless chicken breasts halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set a pot of water to boil on the stove top. When the water is boiling, add the fettuccine and cook for 10 minutes, until al dente.
- Meanwhile, set a skillet on medium-high heat on the stove top. Add olive oil. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over both sides of chicken breast. Add it to the hot pan. Cook for 8 minutes per side, or until juices run clear when poked.
- When the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan. Add the cream and simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes. Lower the heat and add the Parmesan cheese and salt. Whisk well to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Add the fettuccine to the sauce and stir to coat. Cut the chicken into strips. Fill the plates with fettuccine, topped with chicken slices, and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
