Start boiling water for fettuccine pasta.

Slice 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, cutting against the grain.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Add sliced chicken to the skillet, spreading it out in a thin layer to allow browning.

Cook chicken for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and browned.

Check chicken doneness with a digital meat thermometer (165 degrees).

Add 12 oz of fettuccine to boiling water and cook uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes until al dente.

Remove cooked chicken from the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.

In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the garlic butter.

Pour in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and heat without boiling, stirring regularly for about 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese until melted.
