Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup cream cheese (optional)
- 12 oz (340 g) fettuccine or your favorite pasta

Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Season chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 6–8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet, rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
