🍳 Instructions & Methods
1️⃣ Cook the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package directions.

2️⃣ Prepare the Chicken
- Pat chicken dry, season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through (165°F / 75°C inside).
- Remove from pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
3️⃣ Make the Alfredo Sauce

- Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
4️⃣ Combine
- Toss cooked pasta into the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Add sliced chicken on top.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.
🏺 History
The roots of Alfredo trace back to Rome, Italy, in the early 20th century. Chef Alfredo di Lelio invented a simple pasta dish — just butter and Parmesan — to soothe his wife’s pregnancy nausea. American tourists adored it, brought it back home, and soon cream joined the party, giving us the luxurious Alfredo sauce loved worldwide today.

🏗 Formation (How the dish beautifully comes together)

❤️ Conclusion & Lovers
This is a dish for lovers of good food and good company. It’s for the one across the table who steals forkfuls off your plate, for the friends who scrape the pot for the last bit of sauce, and for yourself — because you deserve indulgence too.
🔁 Methods Again (Chef’s Pro Tips)

- Don’t overheat cream, or it may split.
- If sauce thickens too much, loosen with reserved pasta water.
- Slice chicken against the grain for tenderness.
