Ingredients

8 ounces uncooked fettuccine

1 (9 ounce) pouch Progresso™ Recipe Starters™ creamy Parmesan basil cooking sauce
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup whipping cream or half-and-half

Cook and drain fettuccine as directed on package.
In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Add butter and garlic; cook until garlic is softened. Stir in cooking sauce, Parmesan cheese and cream. Simmer 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well blended.
