Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
For the Fettuccine:
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Cook the Fettuccine: While the chicken is baking, cook the fettuccine pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve: Plate the creamy fettuccine and top with the baked chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
This baked chicken with creamy fettuccine is a flavorful and satisfying dish that combines juicy chicken with a rich, creamy pasta. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion!
