Simple Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo

Ingredients -

1 pound fettuccini
1 1/2 cups butter, divided
1 pound boneless chicken breast, sliced
1 pint heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Parmesan or other hard Italian cheese, grated

Preparation:

Bring to a boil one large pot of lightly salted water and add pasta. Cook until al dente in texture and drain. Set aside in a warm place while sauce is made.

Melt two tablespoons of butter in a large skillet and sauté chicken over medium heat until all pinkness has disappeared and juices run clear.

Combine cream, salt, cheese and remaining butter in a saucepan and cook over low to medium heat until combined.

Do not bring to a boil, or sauce may separate.

Serve fettuccini topped with chicken and sauce. Sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.

(Serves 6-8)
