Slice chicken into thin pieces.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic granules.

Heat a pan to medium-high and add olive oil.

Cook the chicken in the pan, avoiding overcrowding, for a few minutes on each side until fully cooked.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean bowl and check that the thickest piece is not pink in the center.

In the same pan, add unsalted butter to make a roux.

Mix flour into the melted butter and cook until it reaches a nutty brown color.

Crush garlic cloves into the roux and mix well to remove the rawness of the garlic.

Slowly add double cream to the roux while mixing to avoid lumps.

If the sauce thickens too much, add more water to loosen it.

Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Boil fettuccine pasta and add it to the sauce.

Mix in the cooked chicken gently with the pasta and sauce.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top before serving.
