Ingredients

For the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo:

- 12 oz fettuccine noodles, cooked and drained
- 1 cup store-bought Alfredo sauce

For the Chocolate Almond Cashew Garnish:

Instructions

Preparation of Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo:

1. Cook Fettuccine:
Begin by cooking fettuccine noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

2. Prepare Alfredo Sauce:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine with 1 cup of Alfredo sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Heat in Microwave:
Cover the bowl with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a microwave cover. Heat on medium power in the microwave for about PT4M (4 minutes), stopping halfway to stir gently for even heating. Ensure noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.

4. Add Grilled Chicken:
Layer the sliced grilled chicken breasts on top of the fettuccine. Cover again and microwave on medium power for an additional PT2M (2 minutes), or until the chicken is thoroughly warmed.

Preparation of Chocolate Almond Cashew Garnish:

5. Melt Chocolate:
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on low power for PT1M (1 minute), stirring every 20 seconds to ensure smooth, even melting.

6. Prepare Garnish Mix:
In a separate small bowl, mix chopped almonds and cashews.

7. Drizzle and Garnish:
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the prepared fettuccine and chicken. Follow by sprinkling the almond and cashew mixture on top for a delightful crunch.
