Grease the grill grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n<li>Once the grill is hot, place chicken breasts on the grates and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li>Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Step 2: Preparing the Whole Wheat Fettuccine<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Cook the whole wheat fettuccine according to package instructions in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente. This should take about 8-10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Reserve 1\/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Step 3: Making the Alfredo Sauce<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.<\/li>\n<li>Add the minced garlic and saut\u00e9 for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.<\/li>\n<li>Pour in the almond milk and chicken broth, whisking to combine.<\/li>\n<li>Bring the mixture to a simmer and then add the cornstarch mixed with water, whisking continuously until the sauce begins to thicken, around 3-4 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thick, use some of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.<\/li>\n<li>Mix in the chopped fresh parsley, reserving some for garnishing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Step 4: Combining and Serving<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss the pasta thoroughly to ensure even coating with the sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Plate the pasta and top it with the grilled chicken slices.<\/li>\n<li>Garnish with additional parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, healthy twist on a classic dish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Recipe Summary<\/h3>\n<p>This Grilled Chicken Alfredo recipe combines a rich, healthy alfredo sauce made with almond milk and freshly grated Parmesan with perfectly grilled chicken and nutrient-rich whole wheat fettuccine.
