Ingredients
12 oz fettuccine noodles

2 tbsp butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil. Cook cubed chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Velveeta cheese cubes until melted and smooth.

Notes
Use freshly minced garlic for the most flavor.
Al dente pasta holds up best when tossed in creamy sauces.
Leftovers can be revived with a splash of cream or milk while reheating.
