Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 300 g fettuccine (or preferred pasta)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a boil, salt generously, then cook fettuccine until al dente (8–10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown and cooked through (5–7 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  3. Make sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in heavy cream, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
  4. Add cheese: Stir in grated Parmesan and nutmeg (if using), season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine: Toss cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce until evenly coated. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.
