Cooking Time: 30 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients. Thinly slice 100g of chicken breast, dice 30g of carrots, and measure out the remaining ingredients: 150g of pasta, 30-50g of cream or creamy sauce, 10g of cooking oil or butter, and the necessary salt, pepper, and herbs/spices of your choice.

Cook the Pasta

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Pan-Fry the Chicken

Heat the oil or butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until they're golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Cook the Carrots & Prepare the Sauce

In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the diced carrots until slightly tender, about 3-5 minutes. Then, lower the heat to medium and add the cream or creamy sauce, salt, pepper, and your chosen spices or herbs. Let the sauce simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Combine & Serve

Add the cooked pasta and chicken back into the pan with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
