Ingredients

  • 200 g Tagliatelle
  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp Garlic granules
  • 2 tbsp Smoked paprika
  • 20 g Butter
  • 2 Garlic cloves chopped
  • 200 ml Chicken stock
  • 200 ml Double cream
  • 40 g Parmesan grated
  • 10 g Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the packet states. Once cooked, drain it but reserve some of the pasta water.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Pop it into bowl then add salt, pepper, garlic granules and half of the smoked paprika.
  • Melt some butter in a pan with some cooking oil over a medium to high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it starts to turn golden brown.
  • Add in the garlic and cook for a minute, before pouring in the chicken stock, double cream, and smoked paprika. Stir it well.
  • Add the parmesan, chopped parsley, and drained pasta. Toss to coat it in the creamy sauce. If it needs loosening up a bit then add some pasta water.
  • Dish it up, and finish it with some more grated parmesan.

    What a wonderful dish. Sooo delicious. I substituted the cream for crème fraiche – everything else as the recipe states.
    Thank you.

    Very quick and easy recipe to follow. Cooked for the first time and my family absolutely loved it. I did substitute the cream for low fat Philadelphia which was delicious. Will definitely be adding that to my menu.
