Let's get started
Step 1
Preparing the Ingredients:

Step 2
Chicken cooking:
Heat the butter in a large pan.
- Sauté the sliced chicken with salt and pepper until golden and cooked through.
- Add the grated garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Making the Alfredo Sauce:
- Add the cream to the chicken and stir over low heat until smooth.
- Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
Step 4
Final Mix and Serving:

Additional Tips:
1. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce for a subtle depth of flavor.
2. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water before draining. This can help adjust the sauce consistency later.
3. If the sauce thickens too much, loosen it with a splash of pasta water or chicken stock.
4. Stir constantly while adding the Parmesan cheese to prevent lumps.
