Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in the butter, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Cook until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
  6. Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken back into the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the sauce.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated, but the pasta may absorb some sauce.
