Ingredients

8 ounces fettuccine pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cook Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Toss with Pasta: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
