Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente (about 8 minutes); drain and set aside.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 6 minutes per side). Remove and let rest before dicing.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer while stirring continuously. Slowly add Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth to create your Alfredo sauce.
In a large bowl, combine cooked fettuccine, diced chicken, and Alfredo sauce; mix gently but thoroughly. Transfer to a greased baking dish, top with extra cheese if desired, and bake for 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden on top.
