Tomato & Olive Fettuccine with Chicken

Step 1

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan. Season with salt & pepper. Cook the chicken for 6-7 min on each side, or until fully cooked through.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a pot of salted, boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve a small ladle of cooking water before draining the pasta.

Step 3

Check the chicken for doneness. Once fully cooked (internal temp reaches 165°F), remove from the heat.

Step 4

In the same pan, heat another drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add grated garlic, cherry tomatoes, tomato paste, heavy cream & drained olives.

Step 5

Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to the pan, then mix well. Season with salt & pepper. Cover & simmer for 4-5 min over low heat.

Step 6

Uncover & add the drained pasta to the pan. Mix to coat the pasta in the sauce.

Step 7

Serve the pasta with tomatoes & olives on a plate with the chicken. Season to taste & garnish with a few basil leaves (optional). Enjoy!
