Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
8 oz. fettuccine or your favorite pasta
1 cup heavy cream (substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for vegan)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 head of garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken to infuse it with flavor. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and coat the chicken breasts. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to maximize flavor infusion.
While the chicken marinates, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in foil. Place both the potatoes and garlic in the oven, cooking for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Heat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
Boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and garlic powder. Once it starts to simmer, add in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Add the herbs, and season with salt and pepper, stirring well.
Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy herb sauce until evenly coated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Plate your creamy herb pasta, top it with grilled chicken, and serve alongside the roasted garlic potatoes. Enjoy the symphony of flavors!
