Method
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the dry seasonings for the chicken. Sprinkle a generous amount of seasoning over both sides of each breast with about 1/4 tsp olive oil per side. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet to medium high. Drizzle in 1 tbsp olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in. Cook until golden, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 3 minutes, until lightly golden. Cover the pan, turn the heat to medium low, and cook for another 8-10 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the pan, set aside to rest.
Step 5
Fill a medium-sized pot with water, season well with salt and cook the Barilla Tagliatelle pasta according to package directions.
Step 6
Wipe down the skillet and place it on medium high heat. Add the butter. Once melted, add in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 7
Pour in the cream, bring to a light simmer on medium heat.
Step 8
Add in 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, salt and pepper. Stir in and simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Step 9
Strain the al dente Barilla Tagliatelle pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup pasta water.
Step 10
Add the Barilla Tagliatelle pasta into the sauce, mixing gently to coat. Simmer for about 2 minutes. If required, add in the reserved pasta water 1 tbsp at a time.
Step 11
Slice the chicken breast diagonally, into about 10 slices per breast.
Step 12
Plate the Barilla Tagliatelle pasta, and place 5 slices of chicken breast over each portion. Garnish with the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and parsley.
