Instructions

Place chicken on a plate and lay flat. Spray or brush with cooking oil, then season with salt, black pepper and dried basil.
Place chicken on a hot grill or large skillet and cook until juices run clear.
While the chicken cooks, add the butter to a separate large saute pan and cook over medium-high heat. Add in the minced garlic and shallots and saute for one minute or until lightly-browned.
Dice the fresh basil by rolling the ten leaves together and cutting to a uniform size; add it to the garlic and shallots and saute for 30 seconds.
Deglaze with sherry (chicken stock or vegetable stock) and reduce for 30 seconds.
Add in the heavy cream and simmer until reduced to desired thickness.
Meanwhile, as the sauce reduces, following package directions, add the fettuccini to boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta.
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss gently to coat with sauce.
Slice the chicken and top the fettuccini alfredo with sliced chicken.
Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and season with salt & pepper, if desired and enjoy!
