Cook the Pasta: Boil water in a 2-quart pot over medium-high heat. Add fettuccine, cooking until al dente (about 7-8 minutes). Drain and set aside. Tip: To prevent sticking, lightly toss the noodles with a bit of olive oil or butter.

Cook the Chicken: In a 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, cooking for 6 minutes and flipping to brown evenly. Remove chicken to a plate and cover.

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, combine cream and lemon juice over medium heat. Add butter, stirring until it melts.

Simmer the sauce on medium-low heat, stirring until it starts to thicken, about 3 minutes.

Add Parmesan cheese, stirring for another 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens more and the cheese melts. Tip: Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat until it reduces to about a third, which should take about 8-10 minutes. The sauce thickens as the water in the cream evaporates and the dairy solids concentrate.

Assemble: Return the cooked chicken to the pan.

Add the cooked pasta to the pan, tossing it well with the Alfredo sauce.

Serve: Transfer everything to a bowl. Garnish with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley, if you like.
