Ingredients
Chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts butterflied if large
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
Pasta
- 8 oz dry fettuccine noodles (spaghetti squash or zoodles for low carb), choose a gluten free option if on a GF diet
Sauce:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 ¼ cups fresh shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken in garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning and set aside.
- Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Set aside on a plate and allow to cool.
- Once cooled, slice the chicken. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
- Make the sauce. Add the butter, cream, and milk to a large skillet and heat over medium heat until the butter has melted.
- Whisk in the garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add the fresh parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Serve over pasta and with the sliced chicken!
Notes
- Sprinkle with fresh parmesan and herbs to garnish if desired!
- Freshly shredded parmesan is preferred for this recipe, as it melts better than pre-shredded parmesan.
- Best served with fettuccine noodles, although you can use angel hair, spaghetti noodles, penne, rigatoni, or any other dry noodle you’d like! If you want to keep things low-carb, skip the pasta and serve with spaghetti squash or zoodles instead of pasta. Nutrition values with ONLY sauce and chicken (no pasta):
