Prep time: 10 min Servings: 2


Ingredients :

1x 9oz / 250g chicken breast, brought close to room temp

2 tsp olive oil

1/2 tsp EACH: smoked paprika, cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp EACH: salt, black pepper

7oz/200g linguine

2/3 cup/160ml heavy/double cream

1/3 cup/80ml chicken stock

1/4 cup/60ml dry white wine

1oz/30g parmesan, finely grated

6x sun dried tomatoes, finely diced

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp finely diced fresh parsley

1 small onion, finely diced

1 large clove garlic, finely diced

1/2 tsp chilli flakes

salt

pepper


𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 :

Step 1 - In a small pot combine the chicken seasoning with olive oil.

Step 2 - Butterfly the chicken breast right the way through to make 2 even-sized breasts.

Step 3 - Coat in the spicy marinade.

Step 4 - Place in a large pan over medium-high heat and fry for a few minutes on each side, or until lightly charred & just cooked through the centre (depending on thickness may take more or less time).

Step 5 - Place to one side & when ready, slice into thin strips.

Step 6 - Turn the heat down to medium & melt in the butter, scraping off any flavour in the pan with your wooden spoon.

Step 7 - Add the onion and fry until it begins to soften and pick up colour.

Step 8 - Add garlic & fry for another min longer, then add chilli flakes.

Step 9 - Fry for 1 min, then add sun-dried tomatoes.

Step 10 - Fry for another min just to soften them, then pour in the wine.

Step 11 - Allow to completely reduce (important to burn off the alcohol, should take 3-4 minutes or so).

Step 12 - Meanwhile, add pasta to salted boiling water & cook until al dente.

Step 13 - Add tomato puree to the pan. Fry for 2 mins then deglaze the pan with stock.

Step 14 - Pour in cream & season to taste with salt & pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer then lower the heat.

Step 15 - Use tongs to transfer the cooked pasta straight from the pot into the pan and toss to combine.

Step 16 - Add parmesan, parsley & chicken (alongside any resting juices).

Step 17 - Continue tossing, adding leftover starchy pasta water from the pot to thin out the sauce as needed.
