Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken and let it rest. In the same skillet, add diced red pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, lemon juice, and zest. Stir to combine, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
  • Add grated parmesan cheese and mix until melted and smooth. Cut chicken into slices.
  • Combine the pasta with the sauce and add the sliced chicken on top. Serve warm.

Notes

For a bolder flavor, add some crushed red pepper flakes. Serve with a side of garlic bread.
