Chicken:

  • 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts (about 450g), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil (15ml)
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • Sauce & Pasta:
  • 8 oz Fettuccine Pasta (225g)
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (57g)

  • 1 ½ cups Heavy Cream (360ml)
  • 1 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese (100g)
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of Ground Nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Season: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C). Toss chicken cubes with olive oil and seasonings.
  2. Cook Chicken & Pasta: Air fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and cooked through. Meanwhile, boil the fettuccine according to package directions.
  3. Make Sauce: While the chicken and pasta cook, melt butter in a skillet. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds, then whisk in heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Finish Sauce: Reduce heat to low and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  5. Combine & Serve: Drain the pasta (reserving some pasta water) and add it to the sauce along with the cooked chicken. Toss to coat, adding a splash of pasta water if needed. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
