Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breast fillets (about 1 pound)
  • 8 ounces fettuccine or tagliatelle pasta
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup heavy cream or softened cream cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest before slicing.
  2. In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions; drain and reserve some starchy water.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms for 6–8 minutes until golden brown. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream or cream cheese, stirring gently until combined. Add grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until melted and smooth.
  5. Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve topped with sliced grilled chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
