Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 12 ounces Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 12 ounces Spaghetti or linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, and slice into strips.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add the lemon juice, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the sliced chicken and cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Shrimp and Chicken Over Pasta!
