Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp butter 🧈
• 4 garlic cloves, minced 🧄
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
• 8 oz fettuccine pasta 🍝
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat) 🌶️
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) 🌿

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.

2. Sear the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for about 5–6 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic-Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow it to thicken slightly.

4. Combine Everything
Add the cooked chicken and fettuccine to the skillet, tossing everything together so the pasta is well-coated in the luscious garlic-butter sauce.

5. Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve immediately. Pair it with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad for the ultimate meal!

Tips for Success

• Extra Creamy? Add an extra splash of cream or milk if the sauce thickens too much.
• More Cheese? Stir in some shredded mozzarella for an even cheesier sauce! 🧀
• Make It Spicy! Add extra red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne for heat.

This Garlic-Butter Chicken Pasta is creamy, rich, and packed with flavor—a perfect weeknight dinner that’ll have everyone asking for seconds! 🍽️✨
