DirectionsGet to the point

1Cube 1 lb chicken breast. Sear in 2 tbsp butter over medium-high heat until 165°F. Transfer to a plate.

2In same skillet, melt 3 tbsp butter with 4 minced garlic cloves. Add 2 cups broth and 2 cups heavy cream.

3Break 8 oz fettuccine in half, submerge in liquid. Simmer 12-14 minutes, stirring often, until al dente.

4Off heat, stir in 1 cup grated parmesan until silky. Return chicken, top with parsley and cracked pepper.

Dad pro tip

The liquid-to-pasta ratio is precise: 4 cups liquid to 8 oz pasta, no more, no less. Do not eyeball it. Too little liquid and the pasta scorches on the pan bottom; too much and the sauce stays thin and watery. Measure it every time.

Kid adjustment

Skip the black pepper garnish and cut the chicken into smaller 1/2-inch cubes so pieces fork up alongside pasta easily. Toss in a handful of frozen peas in the last 3 minutes for color and a vegetable win.

Reheat

Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat with 2-3 tbsp milk or cream stirred in to loosen the sauce. Stir constantly. Microwaving works in 30-second bursts with stirring between, but the stovetop keeps the texture right.
