- 500 g (1lb) chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp Italian herbs / Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
For the Alfredo sauce
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves minced/crushed
- 2 cups heavy / whipping cream
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs / seasoning
- 1½ cups Parmesan Cheese finely grated/shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
For the pasta
- 500 g (1lb) fettuccine
- parmesan to serve
- parsley to serve
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta or noodles of your choice then cook until al dente (usually 9-12 minutes). Reserve half a cup of pasta water and drain.
- Place boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a chopping board and carefully slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create two thin cutlets.
- Drizzle each piece of chicken with olive oil then season generously on both sides with 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Heat a large frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat then add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Melt the butter in the same pan until foamy. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds - 1 minute).
- Pour in the cream and herbs/seasoning then allow to come to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cream has reduced slightly.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and allow to melt/cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper then combine with sliced chicken, cooked pasta and a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water.
- Serve with fresh parsley and Parmesan.
