Instructions

Step 1

Butterfly the chicken breast. Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. Dip the chicken into the flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mix. Drizzle over half of the olive oil on chicken and airfry for 20-25 minutes until cooked.

Step 2

Boil and cook the pasta, saving some of the pasta water.

Step 3

Add the rest of the oil and the minced garlic to a pan on medium heat. Add the tomatoes and fry for a few minutes. Let them blister, and press down with a spatula.

Step 4

Add the cream cheese and then crumble in the stock cube. Add 3-4 tablespoons of the pasta water and let the sauce come to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Add a few more tablespoons of pasta water if needed.

Step 5

Mix in the cooked pasta and season with pepper, making sure the sauce isn’t runny and has thickened up.

Step 6

Slice the chicken into strips and serve with the pasta. Sprinkle with parmesan, parsley, and chili flakes if you choose.
