Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz dry fettuccine
  • 1 tbsp fine salt for pasta water
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast sliced horizontally into 1/2-inch cutlets
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt for chicken
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup freshly finely grated Parmesan about 2 oz

Method
 

  1. Cook fettuccine with tablespoon salt to 1 minute short of package time. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, season chicken with its salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet; cook cutlets 4 to 5 minutes per side to at least 165°F. Rest on board.
  3. Reduce to low; melt butter. Add cream and milk; gently simmer 2 minutes, scraping lightly browned bits.
  4. Add pasta and 1/4 cup reserved water; toss 1 to 2 minutes until tender. Remove from heat; gradually add Parmesan, loosening with water if needed.
  5. Slice rested chicken; serve over pasta while coating smooth and loose.
