Chicken Fettuccine

Chicken Fettuccine is a classic and beloved Italian dish, often involving rich cream, cheese, pasta, and chicken. However, people often encounter issues with the dish being too dry, failing to efficiently sear the chicken or achieving the perfectly creamy sauce. One of the keys to a great Chicken Fettuccine is the pasta itself. Opt for fresh fettuccine if possible, as it has a better texture and flavor. It also absorbs the sauce better, leaving each strand of pasta filled with flavor. For the chicken, it's all about the sear. A common mistake is overcrowding the pan which hinders the development of a golden crust on the chicken. Always remember: don't be tempted to persistently stir the chicken; let it sit and sear beautifully. The creamy sauce can be challenging for some. To make a velvety sauce, whisk the cream and cheese together slowly under low heat and add cooked pasta water if needed to obtain the desired thickness. Aside from these, little known tricks include adding the minced garlic last to prevent it from burning and using good quality Parmigiano-Reggiano for exquisite cheesy flavour.
