320g fresh tagliatelle (or 280g dried)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
30g unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
150g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
125ml dry white wine (or chicken stock)
250ml double cream
50g Parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
Small handful fresh parsley, chopped
Squeeze of lemon juice

Step 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to the boil for your pasta, it should taste like the sea, this is your only chance to season the pasta itself.
Step 2
Season the sliced chicken well with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or sauté pan over a medium-high heat, and fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through with no pink remaining. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Add the butter to the same pan, then add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and any liquid they release has evaporated and they're starting to turn golden.
Step 5
Pour in the white wine, if using, and let it bubble for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol and reduce slightly, scraping up any flavourful bits from the base of the pan.
Step 6
Meanwhile, drop your pasta into the boiling water and cook according to the packet instructions until al dente. Scoop out a mugful of the starchy pasta water before draining.
Step 7
Pour the double cream into the sauce and bring to a gentle simmer, then let it bubble for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened and coating the back of a spoon. Return the chicken to the pan along with any resting juices, and stir through the Parmesan until melted and glossy.
Step 8
Drain the pasta and add it directly to the sauce, tossing well to coat every strand, loosening with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and the chopped parsley, then serve immediately in warm bowls with extra Parmesan grated over the top.

FAQ for

Chicken Tagliatelle Recipe

What ingredients are used in Chicken Tagliatelle Recipe?

The main ingredients include chicken breast, tagliatelle pasta, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, mushrooms, white wine, garlic, onion, thyme, and fresh herbs for a rich and creamy Italian pasta dish.

How to cook Chicken Tagliatelle Recipe from scratch at home?

Learn how to cook chicken tagliatelle recipe by searing seasoned chicken strips, sautéing mushrooms and aromatics, creating a creamy wine sauce, then combining everything with al dente pasta and finishing with Parmesan and fresh herbs.

What's the best pasta shape for creamy chicken dishes?

Tagliatelle is ideal for creamy chicken sauces as its wide, flat ribbons hold the sauce beautifully. Fettuccine, pappardelle, or linguine work equally well for capturing rich, creamy textures.

Can you substitute the white wine in creamy pasta sauces?

Yes, chicken stock makes an excellent substitute for white wine in creamy pasta dishes. You can also use vegetable stock or simply omit it and add extra cream for richness.

How do you prevent cream sauce from curdling in pasta dishes?

Keep heat at medium-low when adding cream, never let it boil vigorously, and remove from heat before adding cheese. Pasta water helps create a silky, stable sauce that won't separate.

While waiting, season the chicken strips generously with salt and pepper, making sure each piece is well coated. This seasoning will build the foundation of flavour for your entire dish."},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Sear chicken strips","text":"Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, deep frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers and moves freely around the pan, add the chicken strips in a single layer. Don't overcrowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside."},{"@type":"HowToStep","name":"Cook tagliatelle pasta","text":"Add the tagliatelle to your boiling water and cook according to package directions, usually 8-12 minutes for al dente texture.
