Ingredients
  

  • 300 g fettuccine
  • 500 g chicken breasts cut into thin cutlets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 40 g butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 250 ml heavy cream
  • 80 g parmesan finely grated
  • 1 tbsp parsley chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • 1 Large pot

  • 1 Food thermometer

Method
 

  1. Cook fettuccine in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Reserve 250 ml pasta water, then drain.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook cutlets for 4–5 minutes per side, until the center reaches 74°C / 165°F.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a clean board and slice.
  4. Lower the heat. Melt butter in the skillet and stir in garlic for 30 seconds. Add cream and simmer gently for 3 minutes.

  6. Top with chicken and parsley and serve immediately.
