Chicken Alferdo pasta
Ingredients:
- Pasta fettuccine, eight ounces
- Two skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced into small pieces
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Two tsp olive oil
- four minced garlic cloves
- One cup of thickened cream
- Grated Parmesan cheese, half a cup

Instructions:
- Pasta al dente should be cooked as directed on the package for fettuccine. After draining, set away.
- Add salt and pepper to the pieces of chicken breast.
- Heat the olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. After taking the chicken out of the skillet, set it aside.
- Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for approximately one minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and turn the heat down to medium. After bringing to a simmer, add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts and becomes smooth.
- Reintroduce the cooked pasta and chicken to the skillet, and mix everything until the Alfredo sauce coats everything thoroughly.
