Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
In the same skillet, combine milk, chicken stock, and minced garlic. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the fettuccine to the skillet, stirring every 30 seconds or so until softened (about 3 minutes). Continue to reduce the heat to medium and stir occasionally until almost fully cooked, leaving some liquid in the skillet.
When the pasta is nearly done (about 9-10 minutes), stir in the cream and parmesan cheese, mixing well.
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of hot water to return it to a silky consistency.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated parmesan and parsley.

Notes

Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or broccoli for extra nutrition.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Make sure to use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor.
