Cook the pasta

Prepare the chicken

Butterfly chicken breasts and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook the chicken

Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked (165°F). Remove and set aside.

Make the garlic sauce

Lower heat to medium. Add remaining butter and garlic cloves. Sauté until golden and fragrant.

Combine everything

Adjust consistency

Add reserved pasta water gradually until the sauce reaches your desired texture.
