Ingredients
Fettuccine pasta
500 g
Butter
1 tablespoon
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon
Tomatoes (preferably cherry)
500 g
Chicken fillet
200 g
Pesto (ready-made sauce)
175 g
Salt, pepper
to your taste
Method of preparation
1
Cook the pasta until al dente: carefully read the instructions on the package to avoid overcooking the pasta. The pasta should be “cooked to the tooth” and still have a slight firmness when bitten
2
Cut the chicken into small cubes and season with salt and spices. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. You can leave the skin on the cherry tomatoes if you prefer. If you want a milder taste, you can sauté larger pieces and then chop them finely. Adjust the spiciness according to your preference
3
Sauté the chicken in a convenient manner and wrap it in plastic wrap afterward. This will help the meat retain its juiciness and prevent it from drying out
4
In a combination of vegetable oil and butter, sauté the cherry tomatoes until they turn into a chunky sauce. Mix in the pesto sauce, add the cooked chicken, and mix well. Simmer for about 1 minute with a couple of tablespoons of broth. The sauce should have a rich chicken flavor and a consistency similar to 10% sour cream. The taste should be spicy and meaty
5
Place the cooked fettuccine pasta on a plate, then pour the pesto sauce with chicken over the pasta. Garnish with fresh basil and oregano leaves
