Cook fettuccine in boiling salted water until al dente; drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chicken fillet to the skillet; cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Remove chicken from skillet; let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

In the same skillet, add butter and whipped cream; stir and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth; season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to taste.

Add fresh spinach to the sauce; cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Combine cooked fettuccine with the sauce; toss to coat evenly.

Add sliced chicken on top of the pasta; drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with parsley.

Serve immediately while hot.
