Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Pour in the milk, chicken stock, and garlic. Bring to a simmer, then add the fettuccine.
Stir the pasta gently every 30 seconds for about 3 minutes until softened to prevent sticking. Once softened, reduce the heat to medium and stir occasionally.
After about 9-10 minutes, the pasta should be nearly cooked, maintaining some liquid in the skillet. Stir in the cream and parmesan cheese until combined.
Continue to simmer for approximately 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the pasta is fully cooked. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of hot tap water to restore creaminess.
Taste and adjust with more salt and pepper if necessary, then serve garnished with additional parmesan and parsley.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding spinach or mushrooms to the recipe.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before slicing to maintain its juiciness during serving.
Use fresh parmesan cheese for a richer flavor.
