Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Season Chicken with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Grill or pan-fry Chicken until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C). Set aside and slice.
Cook Pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
While Pasta is cooking, prepare Sauce: In a large saucepan, melt Butter over medium heat.
Add Garlic to the melted Butter and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in Heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese and Nutmeg until cheese is melted and Sauce is smooth.
Season Sauce with Salt and Pepper to taste.
Add cooked Pasta to the Sauce and toss to coat. If Sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Add sliced Chicken to the Pasta and Sauce. Toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately.
