Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove and slice.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, if using, until sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the sauce. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best texture and flavor.
- Don’t let the sauce boil after adding cheese to avoid separation.
- Great with steamed broccoli or sautéed mushrooms for added veggies.
