material
- Chicken breast – 1 or 2 depending on how much protein you need
- Olive oil
- seasoning salt
- fettuccine noodles
- Butter – unsalted
- thick whipped cream
- garlic
- italian seasoning
- Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper
If you want to add chopped parsley on top, feel free to do so!
direction
First, start by grilling the chicken. Add half the olive oil to the baking dish and scrape around the bottom (the part that will touch the chicken). Then add the chicken and pour the remaining oil on top. Rub the mixture to coat the entire top of the chicken breast.
Sprinkle seasoning with salt and pepper.
Bake at 450°F for 14-18 minutes. Make sure the chicken is seared (it should reach 165°F internally). Then let it rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting or serving.
Next, boil the fettuccine noodles according to package directions.
Next, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan and lightly fry the minced garlic in the butter for 1-2 minutes.
Next, add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning and mix. Stir so that everything is warm and mixed well.
Next, add Parmesan cheese and mix. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the mixture is like a sauce. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the boiled (drained) noodles to the sauce. Then add it to the dish. Place the sliced yakitori on top.
Tips and Alternatives
- The best way to tell if your chicken is done is to meat thermometer Make sure the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- You can also make air fryer chicken instead of baked chicken if you prefer.
- The recipe card below suggests 2 servings from 1 chicken breast, but you can also grill 2 or more chicken breasts at the same time if you want to add more protein to this meal.

If you want more protein, this recipe grills two chicken breasts instead of one.
I think 3 ounces of pasta per serving is a good rule of thumb, but you can easily reduce this to 2 ounces per serving if needed.
