A creamy and delicious one pot chicken fettuccine recipe that’s easy to make and perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner. Tender chicken, fettuccine pasta, and a rich garlic Parmesan sauce all cooked together in a single pot.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
8 ounces fettuccine pasta, broken in half
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Pour in the chicken broth and whole milk, stirring to combine.
Add the broken fettuccine pasta to the skillet, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and unsalted butter until the cheese and butter are melted and the sauce is creamy.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring frequently to combine all ingredients well.
Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
