Pasta

Chicken

Alfredo Sauce

Garnish

Method

Pasta

  1. 1

    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

  1. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the pasta is cooking, season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Alfredo Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Alfredo Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 5

    Add Cream and Cheese

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Combine

  1. 6

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

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

  2. 7

    Serve

    Place the sliced chicken on top of the Alfredo pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
