- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
- Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, and continue to cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly.
- Finally, add the sliced chicken to the pasta and sauce mixture, and gently toss to combine.
- Transfer the Chicken Alfredo to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
