Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)

  4. Gradually whisk in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. Add sliced chicken and drained fettuccine to the skillet; toss to coat well in the sauce for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
