Instructions
- Combine the seasonings for the chicken and cover the chicken generously. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add olive oil once hot.
- Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook about 5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through to 165 degrees F. Place on a plate to rest.
- Boil a pot of water and cook your pasta (I used fettuccine) according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium on the skillet used to cook the chicken. Add butter and melt. Then, add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 2 minutes.)
- Whisk in heavy cream and raise heat to medium-high. Whisk occasionally and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Lower heat to medium-low. Stir in parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper if desired. (be sure to taste test)
- Add cooked pasta to your sauce and coat evenly.
- Slice chicken and serve over pasta. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and more parmesan (optional.)
