Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Extra Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- 2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush with olive oil. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- 3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

- 5. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
- 6. Divide the pasta among serving plates and top with the grilled chicken strips. Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley on top for garnish.
- 7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
