Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked, then transfer it to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, combine milk, chicken broth, and minced garlic, then bring to a simmer.
Add the fettuccine and stir gently every 30 seconds until softened, around 3 minutes to prevent sticking. Continue to stir occasionally as it cooks for about 9-10 minutes, ensuring some liquid remains in the skillet.
Once the pasta is almost cooked, incorporate the heavy cream and parmesan cheese, stirring to mix well.
Simmer for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken while occasionally stirring. If it becomes too thick, add a splash of hot water to restore creaminess.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve immediately, garnished with additional parmesan and parsley.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is cooked through and golden before removing.
Add pasta gradually to avoid clumping during cooking.
Customize the garnishes based on personal preference.
