This recipe honors that tradition while keeping things approachable, fast, and deeply satisfying.

Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces
Mince the garlic
Grate the Parmesan cheese

This simple prep ensures a smooth, stress-free cooking process.
🛒 Ingredients
(Serves 4–6)
Pasta
12 oz fettuccine, penne, or linguine

1 lb chicken breast, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil

🍳 Cooking Method
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Cook pasta in well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.
