step by step

Method

  1. Season the chicken

    • Halve the chicken breasts horizontally to get thinner cutlets.
    • Mix the Italian seasoning, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, dried basil and black pepper, then coat the chicken evenly on both sides.
    Step 1
  2. Cook the chicken

    • Heat the olive oil and butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
    • Sear the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side.
    • Transfer to a board and rest, then slice into strips.
    Step 2
  3. Boil the pasta

    • Cook the fettuccine in well-salted boiling water until al dente.
    • Reserve some pasta water, then drain.
    Step 3
  4. Start the Alfredo sauce

    • Melt the unsalted butter in a sauté pan over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
    • Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper.
    Step 4
  5. Build the creamy sauce

    • Add the cream cheese and heavy whipping cream, whisking until smooth.
    • Stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and glossy.
    • Loosen with the reserved pasta water to reach a silky consistency.
    Step 5
  6. Combine and serve

    • Toss the drained fettuccine in the sauce until well coated.
    • Top with the sliced chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
