Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 12 oz spaghetti or fettuccine
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Boil salted water in a large pot and cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan cheese. Gradually mix in reserved pasta water to create a silky sauce.
- Return chicken to the skillet along with drained pasta. Pour egg mixture over everything while stirring quickly to coat the pasta evenly.
- Top with black pepper and parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
