Ingredients
2 (6 oz each) halal chicken breasts, halved diagonally
1 lb fettuccine pasta (use gluten-free if needed)
1/2 cup salted butter
Flour (2-3 tablespoons)
Garlic powder
Ground black pepper
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
1/2 cup cold milk (optional)
Salt for pasta water
Instructions
Pat chicken dry and season with garlic powder and black pepper
Boil salted water in a large pot; cook fettuccine al dente
Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat; whisk in 2 tbsp flour for 2 minutes
Add steamed pasta to the pan, stir for 3 minutes to coat in sauce
Slide in sliced chicken and heat through
If sauce clumps, add 1/2 cup cold milk for a smooth texture
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving
Notes
Substitute chicken with firm tofu cubes for vegetarian version
Use fresh garlic (not pre-mined) for maximum flavor
Slide chicken diagonally for even, elegant slices
Parmesan cheese (optional) improves creaminess and dissolves smoothly
Avoid overcooking pasta to preserve texture
