Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Colander

Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 300 g linguine pasta
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Pat chicken dry and season with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and let rest.
  • Cook linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add Parmesan gradually, stirring to create a smooth sauce.
  • Toss cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  • Slice chicken and place on top of the pasta. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan to avoid a grainy sauce.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes to the chicken.
