Ingredients

• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

1. 1

   Cook the fettuccine in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken, cooking until golden and an internal temperature of 165°F, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove and let rest.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. 4

   Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, and nutmeg. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 minutes. Add reserved pasta water if needed for a smoother consistency.

5. 5

   Slice the chicken into strips.

6. 6

   Toss the cooked pasta and chicken with the Alfredo sauce in the skillet until well coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
