Pasta Preparation

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Grill the Chicken
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing.

Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Toss Everything Together
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine, Alfredo sauce, and sliced grilled chicken. Toss gently to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it.
