Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season and Cook the Chicken: Season 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on both sides with - ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp thyme, and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp avocado oil and 2 tbsp butter over medium heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through.
Remove chicken from the pan and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In the same skillet, melt ½ cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and stir until the mixture begins to simmer gently. Add 1½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese and stir until smooth and creamy. Add ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional) and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine and Serve: Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat the pasta evenly. Add the sliced chicken on top. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional) before serving.
