Ingredients 

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 
• 12 ounces fettuccine Olive oil, for tossing 
• 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 2) 
• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter 
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg 
• 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions 

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil. 
2. Slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl. 
4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm. 
5. Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.
