Method

Preparing the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt.

  2. 2

    Cook Fettuccine

    Add fettuccine to boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain and Set Aside

    Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 4

    Prepare Chicken

    Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.

  3. 6

    Cook Chicken

    Add chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.

Making the Alfredo Sauce

  1. 7

    Melt Butter

    In the same skillet used for the chicken, reduce heat to low and add butter. Allow to melt.

  2. 8

    Add Garlic

    Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 9

    Add Heavy Cream

    Slowly pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. 10

    Incorporate Cheese

    Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  5. 11

    Season Sauce

    Stir in nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Combining Everything

  1. 12

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

  2. 13

    Slice Chicken

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips.

  3. 14

    Serve

    Plate the fettuccine Alfredo and top with sliced chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
