Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Set aside to rest.

  4. 4

    Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

  5. 5

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

  6. 6

    Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat. If it's too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  7. 7

    Slice the grilled chicken and place it on top of the pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley and nutmeg if desired.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately.
