Ingredients

  • 200 g chicken breast cut in half horizontally
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 250 g fettuccine
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  • Use a wide, deep pan that fits the pasta flat and leaves room for stirring.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer it to a plate to rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  • Add the milk, chicken stock, and garlic to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then add the fettuccine.
  • Move the pasta every 30 seconds until softened, about 3 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and stir every couple of minutes.
  • At 9 to 10 minutes, when the pasta is nearly tender and liquid still covers the pan base, stir in the cream and Parmesan.
  • Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and the pasta is cooked. Add a splash of hot water if it becomes too thick.
  • Taste for seasoning, return the sliced chicken to the pan, and serve immediately with parsley and Parmesan.

Notes

For a silky sauce, keep the pasta moving and take the pan off the heat as soon as the noodles are tender.
