Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g / 7oz chicken breast, cut in half horizontally
  • Salt and pepper
  • 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

Method
 

  1. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate and let rest, then slice.
  3. Add milk, chicken stock, and minced garlic to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then add the fettuccine.
  4. Stir the pasta every 30 seconds to prevent sticking until softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and continue stirring occasionally.
  5. After 9-10 minutes, the pasta should be almost cooked with some liquid remaining. Stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan.
  6. Simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and pasta is tender. If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of hot water to loosen.
  7. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra parmesan.

Notes

- For an extra rich sauce, use whole milk and heavy cream.
- If your sauce becomes too thick, stir in a tablespoon of hot water or milk at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Ensure your chicken is sliced to about 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking in the skillet.
