Instructions

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add milk, chicken stock, and minced garlic. Bring it to a simmer.
Add the fettuccine to the skillet, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir the pasta every couple of minutes.
After 9-10 minutes, when the pasta is nearly cooked, add the heavy cream and parmesan, mixing well.
Simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of hot tap water to achieve a silky consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper before serving, garnished with parmesan and parsley.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated parmesan cheese.
If you prefer, substitute chicken with shrimp or vegetables for a different twist.
