  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking the chicken
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Adds flavor to the sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream For the creamy sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning For added flavor

  • to taste salt and pepper For seasoning the chicken

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and brown them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. In a separate pot, cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  5. Slice the chicken and return it to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together to coat it in the sauce.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil before serving. Enjoy your delightful meal!

Notes

For variations, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version or use gluten-free pasta if desired. Ensure chicken is fully cooked and let it rest after cooking to lock in flavors.
