• 2 tbsp clarified butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

• 2 tbsp fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
2. Add the Knorr Fettuccine Pasta to the boiling water and cook for 11 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. While the pasta cooks, pat the chicken medallions completely dry using paper towels.
4. Season the chicken medallions liberally with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper on all sides.
5. Heat the clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Carefully place the chicken medallions in the hot skillet, ensuring they are not touching.
7. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until a golden-brown crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
8. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate and tent loosely with foil to rest.
9. Reduce the skillet heat to medium and add the minced garlic, sautéing for 45-60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
10. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, using a wooden spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
11. Simmer the cream gently for 3-4 minutes, until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
12. Whisk in the freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.
13. Stir in the freshly grated nutmeg.
14. Drain the cooked pasta, reserving 1/4 cup of the starchy pasta water.
15. Add the drained pasta and the reserved pasta water directly to the cream sauce in the skillet.
16. Toss the pasta continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce clings to each strand.
17. Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces and fold them gently into the pasta.
18. Garnish with the finely chopped fresh Italian parsley.

Dig into a bowl where the silken, velvety sauce clings perfectly to every noodle, offering a rich, savory punch from the Parmigiano-Reggiano. The tender chicken provides a satisfying contrast to the luxurious texture, making each forkful a perfect balance. For a next-level experience, try serving it in shallow bowls with a simple arugula salad on the side to cut through the richness.

Mushroom Risotto with Knorr Chicken Broth

Oh, the humble mushroom risotto—that creamy, dreamy dish that somehow manages to feel both fancy and like a warm hug from your Italian grandmother (if she wore an apron and knew how to make you do all the stirring). Let’s transform those earthy fungi into something truly magnificent with a little help from our friend Knorr.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
