Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For the Pasta:

• 8 oz fettuccine or your choice of pasta
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

• Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

• While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

3. Make the Sauce:

• In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
• Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
• Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
• If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
• Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

4. Combine:

• Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
• Add the sliced chicken on top.

5. Serve:

• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips:

• Chicken Options: You can substitute the chicken with shrimp or even use pre-cooked chicken for a quicker meal.
• Add Vegetables: For added nutrition, consider tossing in some sautéed spinach, broccoli, or sun-dried tomatoes.
• Leftovers: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
