Ingrediencie

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally to make 4 thinner steaks

1 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp sea salt flakes

1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

1 tbsp olive oil

200 g streaky bacon, cut into wide strips

1 tbsp unsalted butter

1 small onion, finely diced

1 tbsp finely chopped garlic

400 g fettuccine (or pasta of your choice)

200 g Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced (or white or button mushrooms)

300 ml thickened (whipping/heavy) cream

½ tsp chicken stock (bouillon) powder

100 g freshly grated parmesan, plus extra to serve

1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, to serve

Postup

Prep the chicken – Sprinkle the chicken with the paprika, salt and half the pepper.

Cook the chicken – Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium–high heat and cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes until golden and just cooked, turning once halfway through cooking.

Slice the chicken into thin strips and set aside.

Cook the bacon, onion and garlic – Add the bacon to the same pan and cook for 2 minutes or until crisp. Use a spoon to scoop out any excess bacon fat, if required.

Add the butter and, once melted, add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until softened.

Boil the pasta – Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine as per the packet instructions minus 1 minute – it will finish cooking when combined with the sauce.

Reserve 125 ml (½ cup) of the pasta cooking water (take it out of the pot using a ladle or mug while the pasta is cooking). Drain the pasta.

Add the remaining ingredients – Add the mushrooms to the bacon mixture and cook, stirring, for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Add the thickened cream, reserved pasta cooking water, chicken stock powder and remaining pepper and simmer for 2 minutes until thickened.

Combine the pasta and chicken – Remove the pan from the heat, add the parmesan, pasta and chicken and stir them through.

Serve – Serve with the extra parmesan and sprinkled with parsley.
