ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- 8 oz pasta
- 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tsp paprika powder
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 9 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- Olive oil
- Salt and paper for taste
Method
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients, slice the garlic, finely chop the parsley. Cut the chicken breast lengthwise into three slices.
Step 2
Mix all the ingredients for the breading on a plate, i.e., flour, granulated garlic, parmesan, and paprika. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil well in a pan over medium-high heat. Coat the chicken pieces in the breading and fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and remove from the pan.
Step 3
In this step, we will make the tastiest part of this dish, in my opinion: caramelizing the garlic. Don't be scared by the amount of garlic; it won't give the dish too much of a spicy taste; it will only diversify it. In this version, even my children love garlic preppers like that. Add a tablespoon of butter to the olive oil heated in the pan, reduce to medium heat, melt the butter, and add the sliced garlic.
Step 4
Once the garlic is ready, the whole kitchen will smell a nice garlic flavor. It will be soft but not brown in color. Add the chicken stock and put the pasta—in my case, spaghetti—cover the pan and wait about 10 minutes. During this time, the pasta will cook until it is al dente.
Step 5
Mix spices such as Italian seasoning, chili flakes, and caramelized garlic in the next step. If the pasta has absorbed the chicken stock, you can add a little bit of water.
Step 6
Next, we will thicken the pasta sauce by adding heavy cream and parmesan, mixing thoroughly so that the parmesan dissolves and creates a thick, aromatic sauce.
Step 7
Sprinkle everything with parsley, mix, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 8
Cut the chicken breasts into strips and place them in the pan.
Step 9
Mix everything, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy!
