Introduction
A rich, creamy, and deeply comforting American-style pasta dish loaded with tender chicken breast, earthy button mushrooms, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Quick and easy to whip up, it makes the perfect midweek meal.
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients: Wash, dry, and thickly slice the button mushrooms. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Pick the fresh thyme leaves. Finely grate the parmesan cheese.
Step 2
Slice the chicken breast in half horizontally, then cut it into thin strips.
Step 3
Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, sauté the garlic and thyme for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan, flatten it out, and season well with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 5
Once the chicken is about three-quarters cooked, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes to cook off the excess moisture.

Important Notes
Using store-bought fresh fettuccine is recommended over dry pasta because its rougher surface texture holds the cream sauce much better, and it cooks in just 2 minutes.
Ensure your pasta water is already boiling before you start cooking the sauce, as the dish comes together very rapidly once the cream is added.
Don't forget to save some pasta water before draining; it contains starch which beautifully thins and emulsifies the Alfredo sauce if it gets too thick.
