Step 1
Cook the 8 oz fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
Season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Remove and slice.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Step 5
Serve immediately with 4 slices garlic bread on the side.
