Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, then add in the cream and milk.

Tips

If you’re starting with uncooked chicken breasts, sauté them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil before slicing into thin strips. You can then continue into step 1 of this recipe by sautéing the garlic in the same pan using the leftover olive oil.
Four cups of cooked fettuccine is roughly equivalent to 8 ounces of uncooked fettuccine, cooked according to package directions.
