Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces fettuccine noodles
Instructions
- Prepare pasta according to package directions in a large stock pot to al dente.
- Place 1 Tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet. Add the chicken and season with the salt and pepper. Sauté the sliced chicken in the butter until slightly browned and cooked through (7-10 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the pain. Heat on medium low heat and melt.
- Add the heavy whipping cream to the melted butter while whisking. Simmer for 3 minutes while whisking and be careful not to boil the mixture.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add in the cheese, a handful at a time, whisking thoroughly until it is completely melted in the sauce. Continue doing this until all the cheese has been added in the sauce.
- Toss the fettuccine and the chicken into the sauce in the pan and enjoy!

Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days. Add a little more heavy whipping cream or milk when reheating to make the mixture creamy again.
