Ingredients
– 8 oz fettuccine pasta
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions
Creating Chicken Alfredo Pasta can be effortless when you follow these clear steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the fettuccine pasta. Cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest before slicing.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, stirring to combine.
5. Add Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
6. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken into the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the Alfredo sauce.
7. Warm Through: Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a fresh touch before serving.
