Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 Hühnchenbrustfilets (chicken breast fillets)
- 2 EL Olivenöl (2 tbsp olive oil)
- Salz und Pfeffer nach Geschmack (Salt and pepper to taste)
Sauce
- 200 ml Sahne (200 ml cream)
- 100 g frisch geriebener Parmesan (100 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese)
- 2 Knoblauchzehen, gehackt (2 garlic cloves, minced)
Pasta and Garnish
- 250 g Pasta, z.B. Spaghetti (250 g pasta, e.g. spaghetti)
- Petersilie zur Garnierung (Parsley for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breast fillets with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts into the hot oil and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Create the sauce: Pour the cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely and forms a creamy sauce.
- Cook the pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta well.
- Combine pasta and sauce: Gently fold the cooked pasta into the skillet with the creamy Parmesan sauce, making sure each strand is well coated.
- Serve and garnish: Plate the pasta with the chicken breasts arranged on top or alongside. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add a fresh and colorful touch.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream.
- Parmesan should be freshly grated for best melting and taste.
- Avoid overcooking the garlic to prevent bitterness.
- The recipe works well with other pasta shapes such as fettuccine or penne.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on stovetop or microwave.
