Creamy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

For the Chicken:
0 Preheat your oven to 400F degrees. If you're going to make the chicken, slice chicken breasts in half to make them thin.
3 Heat a cast iron with avocado oil. Once it's heated, place in the chicken breasts and season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
4 Cook chicken on each side for about 5 minutes until browned on both sides. Make sure to season both sides. 
5 Place your cast iron in the oven to finish cooking the chicken. About 5 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken. You just want the internal temperature to reach 165F degrees. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
For the Pasta:
6 Heat a medium pot with water and salt and bring to a rolling boil.
7 Meanwhile, in a skillet, heat olive oil and butter. Add in chopped shallot and garlic and cook down like a little until fragrant. About 3-5 minutes.
8 Next, turn down the heat and add in the heavy cream and parmesan. Mix well until incorporated and the parmesan is cooked down. Season with sea salt and pepper. 
9 When the water is boiling, go ahead and add in the pasta. Cook according to the package.
10 When the pasta is done, drain but reserve about ¼ cup pasta water. Add the pasta water into the sauce and stir until combined.
11 Pour drained pasta into the sauce. Sprinkle with additional parmesan. Mix until everything is incorporated. Serve warm with chicken and fresh parsley on top!
