Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

This is one of the easiest yet flavorful chicken recipes that I make. It is even a hit with the pickiest of eaters. You can even swap out the chicken for shrimp if you do not eat chicken.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 lb fettuccine pasta
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• Non-stick spray
• Parsley for garnish

Directions (Chicken):

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Coat a large baking pan with non-stick spray.
3. In a medium bowl, mix salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and pepper.
4. Sprinkle chicken evenly on both sides with seasoned mixture.
5. Bake for 20-25 or until chicken is completely cooked. Internal temperature should be 160-165 degrees.
6. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes has elapsed, transfer chicken to a clean plate and slice before serving.

Directions (Fettuccine):

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 1/4 tsp of salt and add fettuccine.
2. Cook pasta al dente stirring occasionally. Drain pasta and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, melt butter.
