Method

6 steps 10 min prep · 20 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add most of the Salt. Cook Fettuccine until just tender, about 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water, then drain.
Step 2. Meanwhile, season Chicken Breast with the rest of the Salt and the Black Pepper.
Step 3. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in batches until browned and no longer pink inside, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4. Meanwhile, blend Cottage Cheese, Parmesan, Milk, and Garlic until completely smooth. Slice the cooked chicken across the grain.

Cook

Step 5. Reduce the skillet heat to low. Add the blended sauce and stir until warmed through, about 3 minutes; do not let it boil.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Toss the drained pasta with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for a silky coating. Divide among plates and top with the sliced chicken.
