Crispy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients:

• 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge chicken strips in the flour mixture.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

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 the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper.

Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.

Top with crispy chicken strips and garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve immediately while warm.
