Cooking Steps

Cook linguine
1
  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce.  
  • To the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 12-13 min, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water. 
  • Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
Prep chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Cover each chicken breast with plastic wrap. Using a mallet, rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan, carefully pound each chicken breast until 1/2-inch thick. 
  • Season with half the garlic salt and pepper.  
Cook chicken
3
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium. When hot, add chicken. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Cook for 4-5 min per side, until golden and cooked through.**
  • Transfer chicken to plate, then cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Finish prep
4
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley. 
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic. 
Make sauce and finish pasta
5
  • In the same pan (from step 3), melt 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) butter over medium. 
  • When melted, add garlic, cream cheese and Alfredo sauce. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce is smooth and thickens slightly. 
  • To the pan with sauce, add linguine, remaining garlic salt and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) reserved pasta water. Toss for 2-3 min until combined. (TIP: If you prefer a lighter sauce consistency, add more pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Slice chicken. 
  • Divide linguine and sauce between bowls. 
  • Top bowls with chicken.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan, parsley and as many chili flakes as you'd like over top. (TIP: Have fresh nutmeg? Finely grate a tiny bit over each bowl, if you like!)
Modularity step (under step 3)

If you've opted to get chicken thighs, cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the chicken breast.
