Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. Drain and set aside.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper..
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Once hot, add one tablespoon of butter. Cook chicken is golden-brown and fully cooked; about 6-8 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of your chicken breast).*
  • Transfer cooked chicken onto a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted add garlic and stir until fragrant. Add milk and cream and bring to a simmer.
  • Whisk in Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses. Stir until the cheeses have melted and the sauce becomes thick and creamy. If your sauce looks a little too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the sauce from heat and add in the cooked fettuccine. Use a set of tongues to combine the pasta with the sauce. Make sure the pasta is well coated.
  • Slice chicken breast and add to the pasta. Garnish with parsley, serve and enjoy.

Notes

The internal temperature for chicken is 165º. I like to check this with a meat thermometer.
To grate the cheese using a simple grater like this one or if you want really finely grated cheese you can also use a Microplane
