Ingredients

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0 to taste salt and pepper
  • 0 for garnish fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and oregano. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Slice the seared chicken into thin strips and return to the skillet. Add the drained fettuccine to the sauce, tossing everything together until well coated.
  6. Plate the creamy chicken pasta, garnishing with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan if desired.
