Pasta
- 6 oz (200 g) fettuccini pasta, fresh is best or other pasta, cooked (use package instructions)

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Grilled Chicken – Add the chicken breasts to a mixing bowl along with the olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook in a skillet until done. Slice and set aside.
- Alfredo Sauce – In the same skillet, sauté garlic in butter, then add milk, cream, cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Add cooked pasta and parsley. Serve with sliced chicken on top.
Notes
- Milk – I used cow’s milk in this recipe but plant-based milks like almond and oat will also work.
- Cream – use regular cream for this recipe it will help thicken the sauce and help the cheese melt.
- Storage – This recipe is best eaten when it’s made fresh but if you’re wanting to make it ahead of time and take it to work for example, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- A note on measurements – all ingredients in this recipe are offered in Australian cup measurements and weight measurements. Weight measurements are created by me, in my kitchen here in Melbourne Australia. The best way to get recipe success is to measure ingredients by weight, using kitchen scales.
