Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 oz fettuccine pasta
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.
2. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
   • Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
   • In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, add the butter and melt over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
   • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
   • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
   • Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
   • Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using).
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
   • Add the cooked fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
   • Add the sliced chicken on top of the pasta.
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
5. Enjoy:
   • Serve immediately while hot, with extra Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
