Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 Hühnchenbrustfilets (chicken breast fillets)
- 200 ml Sahne (heavy cream)
- 100 g frisch geriebener Parmesan (freshly grated Parmesan cheese)
- 2 Knoblauchzehen, gehackt (garlic cloves, chopped)
- 2 EL Olivenöl (tablespoons olive oil)
- Salz und Pfeffer nach Geschmack (salt and pepper to taste)
Pasta
- 250 g Pasta (z.B. Spaghetti)
Garnish
- Petersilie (fresh parsley, chopped)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Sauté the Garlic: Add the chopped garlic to the pan with the chicken and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Prepare 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 creates a creamy sauce.
- Cook the Pasta: While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain well once cooked.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Gently fold the drained pasta into the cream-Parmesan sauce, ensuring that it is well coated without breaking the pasta strands.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate the pasta mixed with sauce and sliced chicken breasts. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat heavy cream.
- You can substitute the chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier result.
- Freshly grated Parmesan is recommended for best melting and flavor.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your taste preferences.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy sauce at its best texture and flavor.
- Optional: Add a pinch of chili flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
