Easy Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 lb fettuccine pasta
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
