    Cook fettuccine pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.

    While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
