Ingredients
-
8 ounces whole-wheat fettuccine
-
2 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise
-
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
3 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
1 cup unsalted chicken broth
-
¾ cup half-and-half
-
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
-
2 ½ cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
-
Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with Italian seasoning and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken; cook, flipping once, until golden brown in spots and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 165°F, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean cutting board and loosely cover with foil. Wipe the skillet clean.
-
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add butter; cook until melted. Add garlic; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth, half-and-half and cream cheese. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cream cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool for 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in Parmesan until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the pasta; toss to coat well.
-
Slice the chicken against the grain. Divide the pasta among 4 bowls; top with the chicken and sprinkle with salt.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
