Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 3 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless skinless
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Parsley, chopped For garnish
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 8 oz Fettuccine or spaghetti
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup Romano cheese, grated
  • 1 1/2 cups Whole milk

Method
 

Cooking the pasta
  1. Cook the fettuccine or spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
Preparing the chicken
  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it.
Making the sauce
  1. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and allow it to come to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and whole milk, mixing thoroughly.
  2. Add the grated Parmesan and Romano cheese, stirring until both have melted and combined into a rich sauce.
Combining everything
  1. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Toss to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
  2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Serve with a side of steamed broccoli, a crisp garden salad, or garlic bread. For the best results, sauté the garlic until just fragrant to avoid bitterness.
