How To Make creamy chicken fettuccine

• Step 1
  PASTA... Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water.
• Step 2
  CHICKEN... Season chicken breasts on one side with salt, and mixed peppercorns; set aside.
• Step 3
  In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. When hot, add chicken, seasoned side down, and season the top with salt and pepper.
• Step 4
  Cook until browned, about 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.
• Step 5
  Transfer chicken breasts to a cutting board and cover with foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
• Step 6
  SAUCE... In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. When melted, add garlic and sauté for 20 seconds.
• Step 7
  Pour in heavy cream and reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk well and cook until the sauce slightly thickens, about 5 minutes. – DON’T let the sauce boil.
• Step 8
  A few minutes later, season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Whisk for 1 minute.
• Step 9
  Turn off the heat and gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until all incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
• Step 10
  Remove from the heat and add cooked fettuccine; toss to coat.
• Step 11
  Add chopped parsley and chicken slices to the skillet; gently mix until well incorporated. If the sauce thickens too much, add a little reserved pasta water to thin it out.
• Step 12
  Serve in warm plates and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
