Ingredients 

  • 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 12 ounces fettuccine pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 3 cloves garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in 1 ½ cups heavy cream and simmer gently.
  • Gradually whisk in 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  • Plate the pasta and top with sliced chicken. Garnish with Chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

How To Make The Chicken In The Air Fryer: 
To cook chicken in the air fryer, season the breasts with salt, pepper, and any desired spices, then place them in the basket without overcrowding. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden and cooked through.
