Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounce fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Begin by boiling the fettuccine in salted water according to package instructions. Once cooked to al dente perfection, drain and set aside.
- Cook Chicken: Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and sauté for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.

- Make Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Combine: Slice the rested chicken and return it to the skillet. Add the cooked fettuccine and crumbled bacon. Toss everything together until it’s well coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Garnish your Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Bacon Pasta Mash-Up with chopped parsley for a splash of color and freshness. Enjoy this delightful dish, perfect for impressing your family or guests!
