Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups of pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside. Reserve a small ladle of pasta water if needed.
  2. Melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.

  4. Reduce heat to low, add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
