Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 16 oz Tagliatelle pasta (substitute with fettuccine)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
  • Season the chicken pieces with some of the black pepper and salt.
  • In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Add the rest of the black pepper and salt. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle in the boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente.
  • Add the cooked chicken and any juices back into the cream sauce. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn down the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Taste the sauce and adjust for seasoning accordingly.
  • Drain the cooked tagliatelle and add it directly to the creamy chicken sauce. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.
  • Serve the creamy chicken tagliatelle immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired. Enjoy!
