Instructions

Cook the Chicken

Slice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
Melt 10 g of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken.
Season with 1 tsp ground turmeric, ¼ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp salt. Sauté until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables & Build Sauce

In the same skillet, melt 10 g butter with 10 ml cooking oil. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook over high heat until browned and tender.
Add 3 crushed garlic cloves and sauté for 20 to 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in 380 ml heavy cream. Season with ¼ tsp black pepper, 2 tsp oregano, and ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg, or to taste. Stir well and let simmer gently until thickened.

Boil Pasta & Assemble

Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding 15 ml oil and 2 tsp salt. Add 250 g fettuccine pasta and cook until al dente.
Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
Pour a splash of reserved pasta water into the simmering cream sauce. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan along with ½ tsp salt and 30 g grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until cohesive.
Add the drained fettuccine to the pan. Toss for about 1 minute until the pasta is thoroughly coated in the cream sauce.
Garnish with 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
