  1. 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.
  2. Meanwhile, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. Pour in the double cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly.
  6. 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.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
  8. Add the sliced chicken to the pasta and gently mix to combine.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
