Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add seasoned chicken breasts and brown them on both sides for about 5 minutes each.
  4. In a bowl, mix together heavy cream, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil; pour over chicken in the skillet.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).
  6. While the chicken bakes, cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente; drain.
  7. Once baked, slice the chicken and toss pasta with the sauce from the skillet until well coated; serve hot.
