Inspired by the classic dish, Fettuccine Alfredo, tender chunks of chicken breast are enrobed in a butter cream sauce laced with aromatic sage and tossed with fettuccine and Parmesan.

Chicken with Fettuccine in Sage Cream Sauce

12 ounces fettuccine

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch chunks

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 to 8 fresh sage leaves

1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Additional grated Parmesan cheese for accompaniment

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, preferably al dente (firm to the bite). Drain; rinse and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat and saute chicken until nicely browned and juices run clear, about 4 to 5 minutes; add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper; remove chicken and mushrooms with a slotted spoon into a bowl and set aside.
3. Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in same skillet, stirring up any bits from bottom of pan. When butter begins to foam, add the sage leaves and cook for a few seconds; immediately add the cream. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, uncovered, to reduce and thicken sauce, adding the chicken, mushrooms and any accumulated juices during the last minute or two of cooking.
4. Remove from heat and add the cooked fettuccine and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to the sauce, season with salt and pepper as needed, and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately with an extra sprinkling of Parmesan cheese over the top, if desired.

Visitor Review: "Dear Hope, I recently made your Chicken with Fettuccine in Sage Cream Sauce and wanted to let you know what a big hit it was. I had company for dinner and they left with the recipe in hand. I have sent it to my sisters and plan to make it again soon for friends. I am also going to try the Ravioli in Sage Cream Sauce. Thank you for such delicious and easy to prepare recipes. I am forever grateful." - Valerie
