Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb Chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 5.2 oz Boursin cheese Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor
  • 0.5 cup Heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup Reserved pasta water
  • 0.25 tsp Red chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.5 tsp Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  • While the pasta is boiling, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, add to the skillet, and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.
  • Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the Boursin cheese and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce.
  • Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet. Gradually pour in the reserved pasta water while tossing everything together, continuing until the sauce smoothly coats the pasta.
  • Garnish with red chili flakes and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
