Instructions

Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, add milk, chicken broth, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer.
Add fettuccine to the skillet and stir occasionally, ensuring it doesn’t stick, for about 3 minutes, or until softened.
After about 9-10 minutes, when the pasta is nearly cooked and there's still liquid in the skillet, add heavy cream and grated parmesan. Mix well.
Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, 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 water to restore creaminess.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste before serving. Garnish with additional parmesan and parsley.

Notes

Adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste preference.
If you like a thinner sauce, add more milk or chicken broth as needed.
Ensure to stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
