Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup ranch dressing

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (preferably your favorite brand)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the diced chicken. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 7-10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Gradually stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Add the ranch dressing and BBQ sauce, mixing until well combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken back into the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta and chicken are well coated in the creamy mixture.

          Finish and Serve: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
