Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and pepper until well mixed. Pat the chicken breasts dry and coat both sides with the seasoning.
  2. Heat a grill pan over high heat, drizzle with olive oil, and grill the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter, add minced garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes, then gradually stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into a creamy sauce.
  4. Boil salted water in a large pot, add fettuccine, and cook according to package instructions, reserving ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  5. Combine cooked fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat, and adding reserved pasta water for desired consistency.
  6. Top with sliced grilled chicken, extra Parmesan, pepper, and parsley, serving immediately while hot.
