Start by baking the chicken. Add half the olive oil to a baking dish and rub around the bottom (where the chicken will touch). Then, add the chicken and pour the remaining oil on top. Rub it around so the entire top of the chicken breast is covered.
Sprinkle on the seasoning salt and a little pepper.
Bake at 450°F for 14-18 minutes. Check to make sure the chicken is done (the interior should reach 165°F). Then, allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before cutting or serving.
Next, boil the fettuccine noodles according to the package directions.
Then make the sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter and lightly saute the minced garlic in the butter for 1-2 minutes.
Next, stir in the heavy whipping cream and Italian seasoning. Stir so everything gets warm and well combined.
Then stir in the Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes a sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Toss the cooked (drained) noodles in the sauce. Then add to plates. Top with sliced baked chicken.

If you want to add some chopped parsley on top, go for it.

The best way to check that your chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer and make sure the thickest part of the chicken has reached 165°F.

If you want more protein, bake two chicken breasts instead of one for this recipe.

I think 3 ounces of pasta per serving is a good rule of thumb, but you could easily reduce this to 2 ounces per serving if you wanted to.
