Best Chicken Pasta Recipes for Easy Weeknight Dinners
so you want https://www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk/chicken-pasta-recipes/chicken pasta for weeknights right okay here’s what you do and don’t ask me for fifteen because I dont have fifteen i have like three that I actually make and the rest are lies people tell on instagram
first you go to the store but not whole foods because you’re not a ceo you go to the regular store and you buy chicken thighs not breasts i told you this before but you didn’t listen breasts are for people who hate themselves thighs are for people who want to enjoy dinner
okay so you get home you throw your bag down you realize you forgot garlic happens to me all the time so you either go back or you use garlic powder but if you use powder you have to put it in early or it tastes like dust
pan on fire medium high oil in wait till it shimmers you know what shimmers means it means when you flick a drop of water in it the water dances not just sits there
chicken in skin side down if there’s skin if not whatever don’t touch it i said don’t touch it leave it alone for four minutes go find your pasta and start boiling water you see multitasking
after four minutes flip it you see that brown color that’s not burnt that’s flavor people think it’s burnt then they wash the pan and i want to cry when they do that
other side two minutes then take chicken out put it on a plate don’t cut it let it rest or the juice runs out and your chicken is dry like my sense of humor
same pan turn heat down to medium throw in garlic if you remembered it if not garlic powder now add a splash of the pasta water you saved the pasta water right please tell me you saved it if you didn’t save it just use tap water and add a little butter to make up for it its fine nobody dies
scrape that pan with a wooden spoon all that brown stuff comes off that is your sauce don’t use metal spoon you will scratch your nonstick and then your eggs will stick forever
now lemon juice from a real lemon not the plastic one that looks like a lemon but is actually just yellow plastic full of chemicals squeeze it in watch for seeds use your finger to catch them or just let them float your choice not my kitchen
butter now turn off the fire first then butter if you add butter when fire is on it separates and you get oily water with white chunks that aint sauce thats regret
now pasta cooked pasta dump it in the pan you cut your chicken already right you sliced it across the grain not with the grain if you cut with the grain it feels like stringy hair in your mouth
toss everything taste it needs salt add salt needs more lemon add more lemon nobody knows you but you
parmesan if you want but not from the green can that stuff is sawdust with cheese flavor i use it sometimes when im really tired and i dont tell anyone
eat it standing up over the sink thats the real chef way
