Method
Cooking Pasta
Boil Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook Fettuccine
Add fettuccine pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Drain Pasta
Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside. Reserve a cup of pasta water for later use.
Cooking Chicken
Prepare Chicken
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cook Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Slice Chicken
Remove the chicken from the skillet, allow it to rest for a few minutes, and then slice into strips.
Making Alfredo Sauce
Add Cream and Garlic
Once melted, add the heavy cream and minced garlic. Stir and heat until the mixture begins to simmer.
Incorporate Cheese
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Season Sauce
Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, and stir well.
Combining Ingredients
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained fettuccine to the Alfredo sauce, gently tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Add Chicken Strips
Fold the sliced chicken into the pasta and sauce mixture.
Plate and Garnish
Serve the Chicken Alfredo hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
