Instructions
 

  • First, bring a pot of water to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, add a little salt and the fettuccine noodles.
  • Cook the fettuccine noodles according to package instructions. Once the noodles are done, drain the noodles and set aside.
  • On medium-high heat, add a little bit of olive oil or butter in a skillet.
  • Season the chicken breast or thighs with an all-purpose seasoning or Cajun seasoning with black pepper.
  • Sauté the chicken on one side for a few minutes, then flip the chicken over and continue to cook the other side. (Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken.)
  • Note: make sure that the chicken is fully cooked through. Check with a thermometer for 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure doneness.
  • Once the chicken is done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Next, add the butter to the same skillet and allow it to melt.
  • Add some fresh garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the whipping cream or half & half.
  • Add shredded Parmesan cheese and the Italian blend cheese. (Tip: you can use Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese combination as well).
  • Turn the heat on the stove to low.
  • Consistently stir or whisk the cheese until it melts.
  • Don’t overcook the sauce.
  • Once the cheese has melted, do a taste test for your sauce.
  • If you need to add additional seasonings some suggestions are salt & pepper with Italian seasoning Or Badia complete seasoning. (Any all-purpose seasoning will do the job.)
  • Toss the fettuccine noodles into your sauce and serve with the sliced chicken on top.
  • Serve with garlic bread or a nice side salad. Enjoy!
