Ingredients
  

Chicken:

  • 2 chicken breasts butterflied if large
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

Pasta

  • 8 oz dry fettuccine noodles spaghetti squash or zoodles for low carb

Sauce:

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 ¼ cups fresh shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken in garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning and set aside.
  • Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the chicken reaches 165 degrees. Set aside on a plate and allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, slice the chicken. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
  • Make the sauce. Add the butter, cream, and milk to a large skillet and heat over medium heat until the butter has melted.
  • Whisk in the garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add the fresh parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Serve over pasta and with the sliced chicken!

Notes

  • Sprinkle with fresh parmesan and herbs to garnish if desired!
  • Freshly shredded parmesan is preferred for this recipe, as it melts better than pre-shredded parmesan.
  • Best served with fettuccine noodles, although you can use angel hair, spaghetti noodles, penne, rigatoni, or any other dry noodle you’d like! If you want to keep things low-carb, skip the pasta and serve with spaghetti squash or zoodles instead of pasta. Nutrition values with ONLY sauce and chicken (no pasta):
