Large pot
Large Skillet
Wooden spoon
Chef’s knife

Ingredients

300 g linguine pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pieces chicken breasts, sliced thinly
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Boil linguine in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add chicken slices and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until melted and the sauce is smooth.
Return the chicken to the skillet, add the cooked linguine, and toss everything until coated in sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream and reduce the cheese by 25%.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a gentle heat kick.
