Ingredients

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-high heat. Season the diced chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the crumbled blue cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine with the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  6. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing well to coat the pasta with the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it up.

  7. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and gently toss to incorporate.

  8. Serve the Chicken and Blue Cheese Pasta hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.
