Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the chicken thighs and fry for around 10 mins, turning half way, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool a little, then use two forks to shred.
  • Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the pasta, cook for 1 minute less that package instructions. Whilst the pasta is cooking, add the butter to the frying pan over a medium heat, scraping the bottom a little to get any of the browned bits. Tip in the cream along with the nutmeg and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the pan.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, use tongs to transfer the pasta straight from the water into the frying pan with the cream mixture. Sprinkle most of the parmesan over and use the tongs to toss it all together, adding a splash of the pasta water if it looks a little stiff. Season well, then tip into bowls. Top with the remaining parmesan, a scattering of parsley, and black pepper.

CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO

I learned how to make creamy chicken Alfredo from my dad who has always been an incredible cook and amazing teacher. Chicken Alfredo was always my favorite. A lot of the recipes I see that are worthwhile are too much work because you have to make your own sauce, and those that don't have you make your own have no flavor. This recipe shows you how to take plain, bland, store-made sauce and make it more than restaurant-worthy.

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook thin spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add Alfredo sauce to the chicken along with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion, basil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne. Bring to a slight boil; stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook mixture until cheese is melted and you are able to lift a spoon out of the sauce without cheese hanging onto it, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Add broccoli to sauce.
  • Drain cooked pasta. Scoop into individual serving bowls and pour sauce on top.

Steps:

  • Rub chicken breasts with lemon oil, if using.
  • Sprinkle both sides with lemon zest, pepper, and granulated garlic, and set aside for 15-minutes for flavor to develop.
  • Start to heat salted water to cook the pasta, but don't cook it until you start to make the sauce.
  • Spray a large, nonstick skillet with nonstick spray, add olive oil, and place over medium heat.
  • When hot, add chicken, and cook until done, but still springy to the touch, and lightly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and keep warm.
  • If using fresh mushrooms, add to pan, increase heat to high, and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove mushrooms from pan using a slotted spatula, leaving juice behind.
  • If not using fresh mushrooms, drain all excess oil from pan, leaving browned bits in pan.
  • Reduce heat to medium if necessary.
  • Add pasta to boiling water.
  • Add lemon juice to skillet, and deglaze the pan, scraping up all browned bits from cooking chicken.
  • Add mustard and Alfredo sauce, and stir until combined.
  • Simmer until heated through.
  • Stir in chicken and mushrooms, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low until pasta is done.
  • Serve sauce over pasta and chicken.
  • Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
  • Serves 4.
  • Note!!!! Ingredient should be LEMON OIL, not extract. Recipezaar recipe software changed it to extract and will not let me make the correction. Sorry about that!
