Method
0 of 9 done- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the fettuccine pasta. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the centre. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
- In the same frying pan, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic. Cook, stirring continuously, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Pour in the double cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce gets too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of pasta water.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the sliced chicken to the pasta and gently mix to combine.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
