Instructions

Season the chicken with salt, paprika powder, black pepper, garlic powder and Italian herbs. Leave for 20-30 mins.
Heat olive oil in a big pan/skillet. Cook the chicken breasts on medium-high heat around 5 minutes each side till golden and cooked through. Remove and keep aside.
Add 1 tablespoon of salt to a pot of water and bring to boil. Add your fettuccine and cook it a minute less than your package instructions.
In the same pan where you grilled chicken, melt the butter.
Then add the minced garlic and slightly toast it.
Pour in the cream and bring it to a simmer.
Add the dried oregano, red chili flakes, white pepper and chicken powder. Mix and let the cream reduce slightly on medium-low heat.
Mix in the Parmesan cheese till it is completely melted. The sauce should be thick and creamy by now. If not, cook it a little longer.
Drain the fettuccine, don't rinse it and add to your sauce. Lower the heat and toss it well.
Add a few splashes of pasta water to thin out the sauce.
Serve immediately topped with sliced grilled chicken, grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
