Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Linguine pasta
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining and set the pasta aside.
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thin cutlets. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, slightly reducing the sauce.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Add the cooked linguine pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce.
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chicken Linguine!
