Instructions
Steps to make your recipe “Crispy Chicken with Creamy Pasta and Garlic”:
1. Flatten the boneless and skinless chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high flame, adding a little olive oil. Fry the seasoned chicken breasts until golden-brown on both sides and cooked through. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic and fresh rosemary until fragrant.
4. Pour in single or light cream and freshly grated parmesan cheese to start building the creamy sauce. Stir well.
5. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes, adding reserved pasta water gradually to achieve the desired consistency. Add black pepper and a splash of lemon juice for brightness and acidity.
6. Boil your preferred type of pasta (such as penne or fettuccine) until al dente, as per the package instructions.
7. Drain the pasta and toss it into the creamy garlic-parmesan sauce. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
8. Plate the pasta, placing the crispy fried chicken breasts on top for presentation.
9. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and chopped rosemary, if desired, and serve hot for a delightful dining experience.
Notes
1. Experiment with ingredient swaps like whole-grain pasta or light cream to make the dish healthier without compromising flavor.
2. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk or yogurt for tender, flavorful results, and keep the breading crispy by letting it rest before frying.
3. Store the chicken and pasta separately in airtight containers and reheat using the oven for the chicken and stovetop for the pasta to maintain optimal texture.
