Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
12 ounces fettuccine pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Remove and slice into strips.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan and Romano cheeses until smooth and creamy.
Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor, if desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the Alfredo sauce until well coated.
Serve the pasta topped with sliced chicken and garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.
Pair this dish with a fresh salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
