Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb chicken breast, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup white cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken breast and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.

      Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to incorporate it with the chicken and garlic.

          Gradually add the white cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.

            Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and mix gently until they are warmed through.

              Combine the cooked fettuccine with the creamy sauce in the skillet, tossing to ensure the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.

                Taste the pasta and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

                  Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
