Cook the Fettuccine
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Chicken Preparation

Grill the Chicken
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and allow to rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add a pinch of nutmeg, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
