How To Make Simple Homemade Chicken Fettuccine

Cook the pasta: Bring a pot of water to boil. Drop in the pasta, stirring occasionally. Cook the pasta for 10 minutes. Drain well. Put pasta aside. Keep 1/2 cup of the drained water to use in the sauce.
Cook the chicken: drizzle olive oil or cooking spray to a large skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper then add to the skillet. Cook until slightly golden and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Create the sauce: Melt 8 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat in skillet. Add heavy cream and whisk together. Combine parmesan cheese and stir till it’s completely smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pasta water to thin out if sauce is too thick. Stir in salt, pepper and parsley.
Add fettucine and chicken: Add the chicken(cut up or place on top of the pasta) to the fettucine and toss everything together. Continue heating if necessary. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese.
