Instructions
- Rub chicken breast with olive oil and season with salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Boil salted water and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant, then add onion and cook until soft.
- Pour in chicken broth and stir in oregano and paprika. Simmer briefly.
- Add Nestle All-Purpose Cream, tomato paste, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat evenly. Add reserved pasta water gradually if needed.

Notes
- Reserve pasta water to help loosen and thicken the sauce naturally.
- Freshly grated parmesan creates a smoother sauce texture.
- Serve immediately for the creamiest consistency.
