Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook fettuccine pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. 2

    While pasta is cooking, cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Slice the cremini mushrooms and mince the garlic.

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.

  5. 5

    Add sliced mushrooms to the same skillet and cook until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

  7. 7

    Stir in the cooked chicken, grated Parmesan cheese, and reserved pasta water (if needed to reach desired consistency). Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Add drained fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to combine and coat the pasta evenly. Garnish with fresh parsley.
