Make the Homemade Fettuccine NoodlesIf you are making your own Fettuccine noodles from scratch, here is a great and easy recipe: How to Make Basic Homemade Pasta with Durum Flour. If using freshly made store-bought pasta, you will add the noodles in right at the end. If you are using boxed pasta, follow the box's directions ;) |

Sauté the ChickenPat the chicken breasts dry. Season with salt. Heat the olive oil in a deep pan and sauté on medium-high heat, about 5 minutes on each side. (Inside temperature should be 165°F / 73.8°C). Don't move or flip the chicken around, otherwise the crust will not be crispy. Remove and set aside to rest. |

While the chicken is cooking, peel and mince the garlic. And set aside. Chop the herbs and set aside. Juice 1 lemon and set aside. Zest a bit of the lemon peel if you would like a fresh citrus note to top off your dish at the very end. |

Serving SuggestionsThis Homemade Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo goes well with steamed broccoli, peas, or creamed zucchini (cook 2 diced zucchini and 1 onion in 1 cup chicken broth, add salt, pepper, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, then add a bit of whole milk or cream and serve - I mix it in with the pasta as well). |
