Ingredients
  

12 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed

1 cup frozen peas

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions
 

Cook the Fettuccine: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook until the chicken is browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and Velveeta cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken and frozen peas to the cheese sauce. Stir until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

          Mix Fettuccine and Sauce: Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

            Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
