Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Cook the Fettuccine

  1. 3

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.

  2. 4

    Cook Pasta

    Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Make the Alfredo Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Add Cream

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

  4. 8

    Incorporate Cheese

    Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.

  5. 9

    Season the Sauce

    Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

Combine and Serve

  1. 10

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    In the skillet with the sauce, add the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

  2. 11

    Slice and Serve Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken and serve it on top of the fettuccine Alfredo.

  3. 12

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
