   • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

   • 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.
