Start cooking

1. To prepare spaghetti with chicken in a creamy sauce , we’ll first deal with the sauce itself, since many chefs believe that it contains all the relish of the dish obtained as a result of the culinary work. Peel and chop the garlic finely (or can be crushed, but then it releases excess juice). We also heat the pan in olive oil, fry the garlic until golden. The main thing is not to overcook, lest it blacken.
2. Add cream to the pan with garlic, stirring, bring to a boil over low heat.
3. Three cheese finely and enter there. Thoroughly stir to dissolve in cream.
4. Meanwhile, in another pan, you can separately fry the chicken fillet cut into small pieces in vegetable oil (no more than 10 minutes on medium heat, maybe less, depending on who loves what degree of frying).
5. When the golden crust appears on the chicken pieces, fill it with the creamy cheese ingredient cooked in another pan and simmer for another fifteen minutes. At the end of the stew add salt, pepper and herbs. Turn off by covering with a lid.
6. Spaghetti (in principle, you can take any pasta from durum wheat) we boil traditionally. For these volumes of spaghetti with chicken in a creamy sauce, a packet of 400 grams is enough. It is important that they do not need to be washed then in running water, and that the final product does not stick together. Cook for 10-15 minutes until cooked (usually the time is indicated on the package). We drain the water and add a little cow's oil, gently mixing, so as not to destroy the structure of pasta.

How to serve chicken spaghetti in creamy sauce

3. We finish the design from above, laying out pieces of chicken fillet.
4. The dish prepared for serving can be sprinkled with finely chopped fresh herbs. Serve hot - so much tastier. And in any case, do not dump all the gravy with chicken in a pan with pasta or spaghetti, to mix it later. It may turn out to be an unpresentable slurry that looks like something canteen.
