Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts ~500g
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking

For the Alfredo Pasta

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 500 ml chicken stock
  • 500 ml whole milk
  • 250 ml heavy cream
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp MSG optional, for extra umami depth
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 400 g tripoline tripling pasta (or broken lasagna sheets)

To Serve

  • Garlic bread
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chilli flakes

Instructions
 

  • Marinate chicken breasts with lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and soy sauce for 10-15 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until 75% cooked through. Remove to a board, let cool slightly, and cut into cubes.
  • In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken stock, milk, and cream until smooth.
  • Stir in paprika, black pepper, MSG (if using), and dried oregano. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add uncooked pasta and cubed chicken into the pot. Lower heat to medium-low, cover loosely, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently until pasta is al dente and chicken is cooked through.
  • Remove from heat, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Serve hot garnished with Parmesan and chilli flakes, alongside warm garlic bread.

Notes

Notes:
- The 75% Cooking Trick: Searing chicken until 75% done and letting it finish cooking directly inside the simmering pasta sauce keeps the meat exceptionally juicy and tender.
- Liquid Adjustments: If the pasta absorbs sauce quickly before cooking through, add a small extra splash of warm milk or stock while stirring.
