1. Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook chicken 6–7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Remove chicken from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter.

Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Pour in heavy cream, stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes.

Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth.

Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

4. Combine and Serve:

Add cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.

Layer sliced chicken on top.

Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

Serve immediately.
