Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 3 Cloves garlic minced
  • For the Alfredo Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp Salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • Nutmeg pinch, (optional)for depth
  • Fresh parsley Garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the Pasta
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken
    In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden and cooked through (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove and slice.
  3. Sauté Garlic
    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant — be careful not to burn it.
  4. Make the Sauce
    Pour in heavy cream and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.Add butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Gradually whisk in Parmesan until melted and smooth.
  5. Combine Everything
    Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of milk.
  6. Remove from heat and drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil.
  7. Garnish and serve
    Plate immediately and sprinkle with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley.
