Instructions
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Grill the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook in a hot skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Slice into strips.
Make the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and saute garlic for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese gradually, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
Combine and Serve
Toss the drained fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time if needed to reach desired consistency. Top with sliced chicken and extra Parmesan before serving.
