2). Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

3). Heat a nonstick pan with the olive oil (1/3 cup) and add the chicken strips. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook on medium heat, for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
Remove chicken from the pan when ready and set aside.

4). Mince 3 cloves of garlic and chop 1/3 bunch of parsley (approximately 1/3 cup).

5). Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth. Then add 1 1/2 cups of Heavy Whipping cream and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

6). Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the pan with Alfredo sauce. Add the Parmesan (1 cup) and stir until everything is well combined.

7). Sprinkle with parsley and stir until everything is well combined. Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes.

✅ The Alfredo sauce will thicken the longer it simmers, but it will also thicken as it cools and melds with the starches of the pasta.
