Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounce fettuccine pasta
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook Pasta – Start by boiling the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside, allowing it to retain some of its heat.
- Cook Chicken – In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and thoroughly cooked. After cooking, remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into strips.
- Prepare Sauce – In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, allowing it to become fragrant. Next, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, letting the creamy goodness infuse the garlic flavors.
- Add Cheese – Stir in the shredded white cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until both cheeses are melted and the sauce becomes smooth. Don’t forget to season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring every bite is perfectly flavored.
- Combine & Serve – Add the cooked fettuccine, sliced chicken, and crumbled bacon into the creamy cheese sauce, tossing everything together until the pasta and chicken are nicely coated with that luscious sauce.
- Garnish – Before serving, sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.
