Homemade Grilled Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz fettuccine pasta
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: chopped fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions:
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Pour the heavy cream into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and whisk until smooth and melted.
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta and sliced grilled chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the Alfredo sauce.
Serve the Grilled Chicken Alfredo Pasta hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or basil if desired.

You can also customize it by adding your favorite veggies or substituting shrimp for the chicken. Enjoy!
