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):
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Coat a large baking pan with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and pepper.
- Sprinkle chicken evenly on both sides with seasoned mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 or until chicken is completely cooked. Internal temperature should be 160-165 degrees.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Once 5 minutes has elapsed, transfer chicken to a clean plate and slice before serving.
Directions (Fettuccine):
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 1/4 tsp of salt and add fettuccine.
- Cook pasta al dente stirring occasionally. Drain pasta and set aside.
