Ingredients

340g fettuccine pasta

450g boneless skinless chicken breasts

200g Velveeta cheese, cubed

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup milk or heavy cream

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, drain, and set aside.

2. Slice chicken into strips or cubes and season with salt and pepper.

3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Sear chicken until golden and fully cooked. Set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in milk or cream.

5. Add Velveeta cubes and stir until melted into a smooth sauce.

6. Toss fettuccine into the sauce, adding pasta water as needed to loosen.

7. Return chicken to the skillet and mix or serve it over the top.

8. Garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly minced garlic for the best aroma and depth.

Substitute with cheddar if Velveeta isn’t available, and add a splash of cream to maintain smoothness.
