Grill the Chicken

Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine Everything
Add the drained pasta to the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add the grilled chicken pieces and toss gently to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
