Start by seasoning the chicken breast with avocado oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Place the seasoned chicken in a bag, add three cloves of minced garlic, and seal the bag, removing the air.

Pound the chicken to an even thickness for even cooking.

Preheat the grill and cook the chicken for about 3-4 minutes on each side until nice grill marks form.

While the chicken is grilling, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat without browning it.

Once the butter is melted, add an equal amount of whipping cream (about half a cup) to the pan.

Optionally, add 2-3 tablespoons of vodka to the butter and cream mixture.

Grate half a cup of Parmesan cheese and add it to the butter and cream mixture, stirring until melted and combined.

Cook fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente, approximately 8-9 minutes.

Drain the pasta, reserving a little pasta water, and add it to the sauce, stirring to combine.

Check the chicken's internal temperature, aiming for 155-160°F, and cook for a few more minutes if necessary.

Once the chicken is cooked, slice it and add it on top of the pasta.

Garnish the dish with chopped parsley before serving.
