Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Add the Fettuccine (12 oz) and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and toss with a splash of Oil (as needed). Do not rinse.
step 2
Slice the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (2) into 1/4-inch thick strips. Season with Salt (to taste), Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 tsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp).
step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp). When the butter melts, turn the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook without moving the pieces, until the bottom has browned, about 1-2 minutes.
step 4
Flip the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
step 5
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining Unsalted Butter (1/3 cup). Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits as these contain a lot of flavor.
step 6
When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the Heavy Cream (2 cups) and Ground Nutmeg (1/8 tsp). Bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
step 7
Whisk the Grated Parmesan Cheese (1 cup) into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta. Toss well. Season with Salt (to taste) and black pepper.
step 8
Garnish with Fresh Parsley (to taste) and serve hot.
