Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make spaghetti with chicken? Prepare the specified products according to the list. Spaghetti is approximately half of a standard package. If the family is large, then double the amount of ingredients. I take 20% cream, you can take 10%, but add 0.5 tsp in step 5. flour. For dry spices, I use herbs de Provence. Cheese — Parmesan, you can use any other hard cheese. The chicken fillet is fresh; if you use frozen, you must first defrost it.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the chicken fillet under running cold water, cut off any remaining bones and skin. Cut the fillet into small cubes. Lightly coat the chicken pieces in the herb mixture. Season with salt and ground black pepper if desired. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken pieces in it for 10 minutes, stirring them constantly.

Step 3

Step 3
Place a saucepan with enough water on the fire, bring to a boil, pour in a spoonful of vegetable oil, lightly add salt and place the spaghetti in boiling water. Stir immediately, stir the next time after boiling, and then stir again during cooking. Place the finished pasta in a colander to drain the liquid and place it back into the pan to keep warm.

Step 4

Step 4
Place the finished chicken fillet on a separate plate. And add peeled garlic to the pan in which the meat was fried. I add whole garlic because I donʼt plan on it remaining in the sauce. If you want pieces of garlic to be present in the sauce, then it should be passed through a press and not removed later. Fry the garlic in oil for a few minutes until fragrant, then remove the garlic pieces.

Step 5

Step 5
Add cream to the pan, stir, reduce heat and cook for another five minutes. Add the butter and stir until it is completely melted. What to do to prevent the cream from curdling and other useful information can be found in the article, a link to it is at the end of the recipe.

Grate the cheese and add to the cream, stirring constantly so that the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the sauce and does not turn out to be just a lump. Boil, stirring, for a minute or two, turn off the heat, cover with a lid and leave to stand.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the finished hot spaghetti on a plate, pour the sauce over it and evenly distribute the fried chicken pieces. Serve the dish hot. A glass of white wine goes perfectly with this Italian dinner.
