Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

8 oz (225g) fettuccine pasta

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, thyme, and smoked paprika. Make sure each piece is well coated.

    Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

      Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

        Add Chicken Pieces: Carefully add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

          Create the Cream Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine with the garlic butter and chicken.

            Add Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

              Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked fettuccine into the skillet, tossing it gently with the creamy cheese sauce and chicken until the pasta is well-coated.

                Season to Taste: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if necessary.

                  Serve: Plate the creamy Parmesan pasta generously and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
