Instructions

Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Remove from the pan and set aside to rest before slicing into strips or cubes.
Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine (or linguine) according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water for the sauce, and set aside.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet you used to cook the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Combine the Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Add the sliced or cubed chicken on top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
