Ingredients

Onion
Garlic

Basil
Rosemary
Ginger
Chicken Seasoning (Montreal Chicken Spice)

Directions
- Finely chop a few garlic cloves, half an onion, a piece of your leek, and your herbs. Use a food processor to make this easier, and add olive oil if the ingredients get stuck!
- Cook the mixture over high heat, with half a stick of butter until everything is nicely melted. Reduce heat to medium-low to prevent burning of the garlic. Season with salt & pepper. When this mixture is fragrant and starting to look soft, add a cup of cream and stir gently. Simmer the sauce until thick and creamy.
- Slice 1 or 2 chicken breasts into ¾ inch strips. Season with your preferred chicken spice, and salt and pepper to taste. Add to a pan with a good glug of olive oil, crushed garlic, rosemary, sliced ginger, and chopped leek. Cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and lightly golden.
- Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water until it's “al dente”. Follow the instructions on your specific pasta package!
- Strain the noodles and top with your finished sauce and chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a fresh grating of cheese.
- Serve while hot with your favorite glass of vino!
