Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g / 7oz chicken breast, cut in half horizontally
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 250 g / 8 oz fettuccine
- 2 cups milk, any fat %
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock / broth
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup thickened / heavy cream
- 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
- Parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
- In the same skillet, add milk, chicken broth, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the fettuccine to the simmering mixture and stir every 30 seconds until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Once the pasta is softened, lower the heat to medium, stirring every few minutes until almost cooked and there’s still some liquid remaining in the skillet.
- Around 9-10 minutes in, add the thickened cream and grated parmesan, mixing well.
- Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the pasta is cooked through. If needed, add a splash of hot water to adjust the sauce consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper before serving. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan and parsley.
Notes
Ensure to adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken before cooking.
Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
