1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook green and white fettuccine together until tender but still firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in a colander.
2. Meanwhile, season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, cook chicken in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat, stirring often, until white throughout, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken from pan.
3. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan, reduce heat to medium, and add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, prosciutto, spinach, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring often, 2 minutes. Add broth, cream, and wine. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, and cook 3 to 5 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
4. In a large serving bowl, toss sauce with pasta and chicken. Add cheese, toss again, and serve
