- •- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- •- 1 lb fresh fettuccine pasta
- •- 2 cups heavy cream
- •- 1/2 cup unsalted European-style butter
- •- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- •- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- •- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- •- 1 tsp kosher sea salt

- •- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
