Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the chicken thighs and fry for around 10 mins, turning half way, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool a little, then use two forks to shred.
- Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the pasta, cook for 1 minute less that package instructions. Whilst the pasta is cooking, add the butter to the frying pan over a medium heat, scraping the bottom a little to get any of the browned bits. Tip in the cream along with the nutmeg and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan.
- Once the pasta is cooked, use tongs to transfer the pasta straight from the water into the frying pan with the cream mixture. Sprinkle most of the parmesan over and use the tongs to toss it all together, adding a splash of the pasta water if it looks a little stiff. Season well, then tip into bowls. Top with the remaining parmesan, a scattering of parsley, and black pepper.

CHICKEN ALFREDO FOR ONE
I love alfredo and wanted to create a self contained low carb meal for one so here it is. Although this alfredo will not be white, it is so good you won't care! You could use low carb pasta but we eat it all by itself. You could substitute a couple broccoli florets for asparagus or even add them if you wish!

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, season the chicken with the salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches, cook the chicken, turning the pieces halfway through, until lightly browned on all sides, 5-6 minutes per batch. If the pot seems dry, add more olive oil as needed between batches. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the shallots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the flour, stirring to coat the aromatics. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is just cooked but has not yet started to brown.
- Pour the white wine into the pot to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the chicken stock and season with salt. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the fettuccine and cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot or clumping together.
- Add the chicken and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the Parmesan cheese, a couple tablespoons at a time, stirring well between each addition to ensure the cheese melts smoothly. Stir in the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The soup will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Ladle into bowls and serve warm, garnished with more pepper and Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, free-range chicken, a creamy Alfredo sauce, and flavorful Parmesan cheese.
- If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can use milk instead. Just add a little more cheese to thicken the sauce.
- To make the chicken more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- If you're using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking. Otherwise, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
- Serve the chicken Alfredo immediately over your favorite pasta. Enjoy!
