Step 1 – Cook the Pasta

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil.

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan.

Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Remove and set aside.

Reduce the heat.

Add the butter and garlic to the pan.

Cook gently for 1 minute.

Pour in the double cream and stir thoroughly.

Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4 – Add the Treasure

Stir in the parmesan, black pepper, and parsley.

Continue stirring until smooth and silky.

Step 5 – Unite the Feast

Return the chicken to the pan.

If required, add a splash of reserved pasta water.

Step 6 – Serve

Divide between warm bowls.

Top with extra parmesan and parsley.

Serve immediately.

🐉 Dragon’s Tip

Always grate your own parmesan if possible. Freshly grated cheese melts far better and creates a smoother sauce.
