1
Season both sides of the chicken breast with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and Italian seasoning.
2
Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and grease with cooking spray or a drizzle of your favorite cooking oil. Place chicken in the pan and cook each side for 4 to 8 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
3
Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. In the last 3 to 5 minutes of cooking time, add the chopped asparagus to the boiling water. Drain and set aside.
4
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add half and half, garlic powder, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened. Do not allow it to come to a full boil.
5
Stir in the 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese until melted. Pour the cheese sauce over the cooked fettuccine and asparagus and toss to combine. Divide the pasta mixture evenly into two serving bowls.
6
Slice the cooked chicken breast and place it over the top of the pasta in each bowl. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
