Cooking Time: 30 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine and Serve

Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
