Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Sometimes, I just need a change from the basic red sauce on pasta.  I wanted to make an Alfredo sauce to change it up last week.  Pioneer Woman has some great recipes, and I think she did well on this one.  It is a pretty easy and basic sauce which was perfect to start out trying since I have never attempted making it before.  I did add some garlic to the recipe because I just felt it might be too plain without it.  This is a pretty indulgent meal for me, with all that butter and cheese but you 

cant go wrong with either of 

those things can you? ;)  

Ingredients

1 stick Butter
1 cup Heavy Cream
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
Salt and Pepper, to taste
2 cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 lb fettuccine noodles
1 lb chicken breasts

Preparation Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Cook 2 large chicken breasts over stove on medium heat until cooked through.  Shred chicken and transfer back to pan.

In a saucepan or skillet, warm butter and cream. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and crushed garlic.

Drain pasta and immediately pour it into the pan with the chicken.  Sprinkle Parmesan over top.  Toss a couple of times,then pour warm butter/cream mixture over the top.

Toss to combine, thinning with pasta water if necessary.
Serve immediately as a main course or accompaniment to meat or salad.

Delicious!
