Cooking Steps
- Cook your pasta in well salted boiling water, undercooking by 1 minute. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
- Flatten the chicken breast to an even thickness (about 1-1.5 cm) by laying some plastic wrap over the top and hitting with a rolling pin. Season the breast well with salt and pepper on each side then dust with the flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a fry pan over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken for 2 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Lightly wrap in foil and set aside.
- Heat the butter over a medium heat and gently fry the garlic for a minute without browning it. Add the rosemary and cook for a further 30 seconds.
- Pour in the cream and bring to a very gentle simmer. Add the parmesan in 2 or 3 separate lots, mixing and letting it melt in between each addition.
- Add the pepper and lemon juice and mix in quickly.
- Add ? cup of pasta water and let it gently simmer for 2 - 3 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Add the cooked pasta, toss and let it gently bubble away for a minute or two.
- Slice the chicken then serve the pasta with the chicken pieces on top or tossed through. Top with extra rosemary leaves, freshly grated lemon zest, and more parmesan if desired.
