Ingredients You’ll Need 
(Serves 4-6)
- 12 oz fettuccine (or gluten-free pasta)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional but divine!)
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Step-by-Step Instructions 
Cook the Pasta
- Boil salted water and cook pasta al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
Sear the Chicken
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear in 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side. Slice into strips.
Make the Alfredo Sauce
- In the same pan, melt remaining butter. Sauté garlic for 1 minute.
- Pour in broth and milk. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in Parmesan, nutmeg, and pepper until smooth.
Combine & Toss
- Add cooked pasta and chicken to the sauce. Toss, adding pasta water as needed to thin.
Garnish & Serve!
- Top with extra Parmesan, parsley, and cracked black pepper. Pair with garlic bread!
Pro Tips for Alfredo Success 
Use fresh Parmesan – pre-shredded won’t melt as smoothly! Don’t overcook the sauce – keep heat medium-low to prevent curdling. Add veggies – toss in spinach, peas, or sautéed mushrooms! 
Meal prep hack – store sauce separately for easy reheating. Crispy chicken? – Air fry the chicken for extra crunch!
Serving Ideas 
- Classic Pairing: Garlic bread + Caesar salad
- Low-Carb Twist: Zucchini noodles + grilled asparagus
- Protein Boost: Add shrimp or crispy bacon!
- Date Night: Serve with white wine and tiramisu!
