1

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes until al dente. Stir occasionally.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3

Next, cut the chicken breast into strips and season with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.

4

Once the chicken is cooked, add 1 cup of balsamic vinegar to the skillet. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the vinegar to reduce and thicken slightly.

5

When the pasta is done, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the rest. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and balsamic reduction, tossing everything together until well combined. If it seems dry, add a little of the reserved pasta water.

6

Finally, stir in 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese until melted and evenly distributed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
