🧈 1 tablespoon butter
🫒 1 teaspoon olive oil

For the Pasta:
🍝 12 oz fettuccine pasta
🧂 Salt, for pasta water
🫒 A dash of olive oil, for pasta water

For the Alfredo Sauce:
🧈 1/2 stick of butter
🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
🌾 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
🥛 2 cups milk
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🧀 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
🧀 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (optional)
🧂 Salt and pepper, to taste

For Garnish:
🍅 Diced tomatoes

Instructions

1- Prepare the Chicken:

Cut each chicken breast into 3-4 fillets to ensure quick and even cooking.
Season the fillets with sazon, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and paprika.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter and olive oil over high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken fillets and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet, cover with foil, and set aside to rest.

2- Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add a dash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3- Make the Alfredo Sauce:

In the same skillet used for the chicken, heat butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the flour and cook for another minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
Stir in the parmesan cheese, and if desired, the mozzarella cheese, until melted and smooth.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4- Combine and Serve:

Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Slice the rested chicken fillets and place them on top of the pasta.
Garnish with diced tomatoes and fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
