Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups broccoli florets

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board.

      Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Add Liquids and Pasta: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and then add the fettuccine pasta, ensuring it's submerged in the liquid.

          Cook the Pasta: Cover the skillet and let the pasta cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed some of the sauce.

            Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets and cover again. Let it cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender.

              Combine and Finish: Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Slice the cooked chicken and fold it back into the skillet. Mix everything until well combined and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

                Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy, comforting meal!
