1. Gather ingredients and utensils:

– Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4-5 pieces)

– Olive oil

– Salt

– Pepper

– Crushed garlic (2 cloves)

– Butter (1/2 cup)

– Heavy cream (2 cups)

– Grated Parmesan cheese (1 1/2 cups)

– Fettuccine noodles (16 ounces)

– Chopped parsley for garnishing

– Large pot

– Skillet

– Tongs

– Whisk

2. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Place the seasoned chicken into the skillet and cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, making sure it is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165 °F (75 °C). Once cooked, set the chicken aside to rest.

5. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook fettuccine noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set aside.

6. In the skillet used for cooking the chicken, melt butter over low heat.

7. Slowly whisk in heavy cream until fully combined with the melted butter.

8. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, whisking constantly to avoid clumping.

9. Once fully combined, allow sauce to simmer over low heat for approximately 5 minutes or until it starts to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.

10. Remove sauce from heat and season with salt and pepper according to taste preferences.

11. Slice the rested chicken into thin strips or dice into cubes.

12. Toss cooked fettuccine noodles and chicken with the Alfredo sauce until well-coated.

13. Serve on plates or in a serving bowl, garnished with chopped parsley.
