Ingredients

  • Fettuccine Pasta

  • Chicken Breast

  • Olive Oil

  • Butter

  • Whipping Cream (or Heavy Cream)

  • Leek

  • Onion

  • Garlic

  • Parsley

  • Oregano

  • Basil

  • Rosemary

  • Ginger

  • Chicken Seasoning (Montreal Chicken Spice)

  • Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese (optional)

  • Salt

  • Pepper

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!
