Ingredients

Serves 4

  • Chicken

  • 3 chicken breasts, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt

  • Pasta Sauce

  • Fettuccine pasta
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp red chili flakes, or to taste
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken
    In a bowl, combine the chicken with olive oil, paprika, red pepper flakes, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to coat.
  2. Cook the chicken
    Heat a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Cook the pasta
    Boil the fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve a bit of pasta water before draining.
  4. Start the sauce
    In the same pan, lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the garlic and onion and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
  5. Add the seasonings
    Stir in the oregano, garlic powder, and red chili flakes. Let the seasonings cook for a minute so they bloom.
  6. Add the cream and Parmesan
    Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a low simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  7. Thin the sauce if needed
    Add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency.
  8. Add the pasta and parsley
    Toss the cooked fettuccine into the sauce, then stir in the chopped parsley until everything is well coated.
  9. Serve
    Plate the pasta and top with the cooked chicken.
