Instructions
Get the Grill Ready
Start by firing up the Arteflame grill to get it ready for grilling.
Prepare the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken on the center grill grate and sear each side for 3-4 minutes to get a golden crust.

- Let the chicken rest, then slice it thinly.
Cook the Pasta
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- To give the pasta a "crunch", grill the cooked pasta on the flat griddle cooktop.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
- In a grill-safe pan, melt the butter on the flat cooktop.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Serve
- Toss the cooked fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce until well coated.
- Add the grilled chicken slices on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately.
Tips
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Rotate the chicken on the flat cooktop to utilize different heat zones for even cooking.
