📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package directions, usually ⏱️ 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain well. Set aside.
2
Make the chicken: Season chicken breasts with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3
Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet. Once it’s shimmering, swirl the pan to evenly distribute. Add the chicken and leave it undisturbed for ⏱️ 5-7 minutes, until the bottom is golden-brown. Flip over and add in 1 tablespoon of butter between them, picking up the pan to give it a gentle swirl to distribute. Continue cooking for another ⏱️ 5-7 minutes (or an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.)

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for ⏱️ 3 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Tent with foil while you prepare the sauce.
5
Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same pan, over medium-low heat, add the butter and cream; whisk until butter has melted.

7
Bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil) and cook for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes, whisking constantly, until it starts to thicken.
8
Stir in the parmesan cheese just until melted and the sauce is smooth. (If the sauce ends up too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water, a few tablespoons at a time, to thin it out.)
9
Assemble: Take sauce off the heat and immediately toss with the cooked fettuccine noodles.

Divide the pasta among serving bowls and top with a few slices of chicken. Garnish with parsley, more Parmesan, and black pepper if desired.
