  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Pasta:

  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Season chicken slices with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
  2. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Simmer until sauce thickens.
  3. Cook the Pasta: Cook fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain pasta, reserving some pasta water.
  4. Combine Everything: Toss cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency. Add cooked chicken slices and toss to coat.
  5. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can add cooked vegetables like broccoli or peas to the Alfredo for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or milk instead of heavy cream.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
