Ingredients

• 450 g chicken breast
• 300 g pasta
• 2 łyżka olive oil
• 2 łyżka clarified butter
• 1 łyżka butter
• 1 szt yellow onion
• 1 łyżka fresh garlic
• 2 łyżka wheat flour
• 350 ml chicken broth
• 350 ml 30% cream
• 50 g Parmesan
• 1 szt spices

Preparation

1. Clean the chicken and lightly pound it to even out the thickness. Season with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika. Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat, and let it marinate for at least an hour.
2. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package.
3. Heat the clarified butter in a skillet. Fry the chicken for 8–10 minutes, turning it occasionally, until it is fully cooked. Remove it from the skillet, slice it, and set it aside.
4. Add butter to the same skillet. Once it has melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for one minute, until softened. Add the chopped fresh garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
5. Add the spices: salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili flakes, and Italian herbs. Stir, add the flour, and cook for one minute, stirring constantly.
6. Gradually pour in the broth, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Cook over medium heat for 2–4 minutes.
7. Pour in the cream and stir with a whisk until the sauce is smooth and thick. Add the grated Parmesan and dried parsley, and stir until the ingredients are well combined.
8. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir. Arrange the chicken slices on top. Optionally, sprinkle with an extra portion of Parmesan cheese before serving.
