Fettuccine With Chicken And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

Steps:

• Heat 2 Tbl of oil and the butter in a skillet. Add the chicken halves, and panfry until they are golden brown all over. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
• Add the onion and garlic to the skillet, and fry over a medium heat until they begin to soften. Add the bell peppers and mushrooms and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and season to taste. Transfer the vegetables to a casserole dish, and arrange the chicken on top of them.
• Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Pour the wine over the chicken. Cover the pan and cook in a preheated oven at 350°F for 50 minutes.
• Add the olives to the casserole and mix them in . Pour in the cream, cover, and return to the oven for 10-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and the remaining oil, and cook until the pasta is tender bur still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well and transfer it to a serving dish.
• Arrange the chicken on top of the pasta, spoon the sauce over the top, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately. Alternatively, place the pasta in a large serving bowl and serve it separately from the vegetables.
