Chicken With Tagliatelle Recipes

TAGLIATELLE WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Rub the chicken with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then place it breast down in a roasting pan and roast for about 1 1/2 hours, or until well browned, turning it over toward the end to brown the breast. It's done when the juices run clear, not pink, when you cut into the thigh. When the chicken's nearly ready, put abundant water on for the pasta, salting it when it boils.
• Take the chicken out of the oven and take the meat off the bone, leaving all that glorious burnished skin on, and cut it into small pieces. I do much of this by just pulling, without a knife, but if you haven't got asbestos hands, use a knife and fork or wait until it is cooler.
• For the sauce, pour all the juices from the roasting pan into a saucepan. Add the rosemary, the drained sultanas and the pine nuts. Begin to simmer the sauce when you are ready to cook the pasta.
• Cook and drain the pasta, and toss it with the sauce, chicken pieces, and parsley in a large warmed bowl.

CREAMY CHICKEN TAGLIATELLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions, subtracting 2 minutes. When draining, remove one cup of pasta cooking water and set aside.
• Liberally season the chicken breasts on both sides. In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook on both sides for 5-7 minutes (until it reaches an internal cooking temperature of 165 degrees F.
• Over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 - 4 minutes until onion is light golden and soft.
• Add cream, about 3/4 cup pasta water and parmesan. Stir, then simmer for 2 minutes until it reduces slightly - you don't need to be exact here. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add pasta and toss gently in the sauce for about 1 1/2 minutes. The sauce will thicken and coat the pasta, do this step until you get the sauce consistency you want. If your sauce gets too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
• Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and parsley.
