# Ingredients:
→ Chicken
01 -
Salt to your liking
02 -
Black pepper, as much as you want
03 -
5 millilitres Italian dried herbs
04 -
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
05 -
15 millilitres olive oil
→ Pasta and Sauce
06 -
Fresh parsley, chopped, for finishing
07 -
60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
08 -
60 grams shredded provolone cheese
09 -
60 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
10 -
240 millilitres heavy cream
11 -
240 millilitres marinara sauce
12 -
225 grams penne pasta
# Steps:
01 -
Pile the creamy pasta onto plates or bowls. Layer those sliced chicken strips on top, and if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle extra Parmesan and a hit of parsley. Eat while it’s still hot.
02 -
Toss all the penne into your pan with the cheesy sauce. Mix it around so every bit of pasta gets nice and coated.
03 -
Pour marinara and heavy cream into the pan you used for the chicken. Warm it gently over low heat till you hit a slow bubble. Bit by bit, toss in mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan, stirring all the time so it gets silky and the cheese melts through.
04 -
Fill a big pot with salted water, get it boiling, and drop in the penne. Cook it until it’s got a little bite left (check the packet if you’re not sure). Drain well and set aside.
05 -
Shake Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper all over your chicken breasts. Heat some olive oil in a wide pan on medium. Slide in the chicken and cook about 6 or 7 minutes each side till it’s golden and cooked right through. Give them a few minutes to rest out of the pan, then slice into thin strips.
# Notes:
01 -
Pop in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if you want extra flavor in the sauce.
02 -
To wow your guests, slide the finished pasta under the broiler with some more cheese for 2 or 3 minutes till gold and bubbly on top.
