Chicken pasta with cream sauce

I am a big fan of Italian cuisine. Recently, I was so tempted to make cream pasta. It is one of my comfort foods! However, ordering an authentic Italian pasta  may costs a fortune in Hong Kong. Since this dish only needs a few ingredients, why paying more than a hundred dollars for a dish when you can easily make one at home for only $40HKD! I can guarantee you will love it! So simple and easy to make!

Preparation time: 15 mins

Ingredients:
1 cup Frozen chicken breast (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
2 servings Pasta of your choice (I am using homemade fettuccine)
2 cloves Garlic
1 Tomato (optional)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Salt and pepper for seasoning

1. Boil your pasta according to package instructions.
2. After started boiling the pasta, season the chicken breast pieces with generous amount of salt and pepper. Set aside.
3. Finely chop the garlic. Seed and peel the tomato. Then slice them into bite sized pieces.
4. Preheat skillet in medium heat, drizzle 2 tbsps of olive oil then add the chicken. Sautee each side for around 1 minute until lightly browned then remove it from the skillet.
5. Using the remaining oil in the skillet, add garlic. Saute for 30 seconds until flavourful.
6. Add tomatos and chicken.
7. Add cream. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3/4 cup of Permensan cheese.
8. Add in the pasta and add 1 tbsp of pasta water. Season the pasta if needed.
9. Serve on a plate and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Permesan cheese.
10. Enjoy:)

Tips:
1. To remove the skin of the tomato, use a knife to gently cut across the tomato skin. Put it in boiling water for 30 seconds. You can also put it in the boiling pasta water.
2. Don't be afraid to season the chicken with generous amount of salt and pepper because when you over seasoned, the saltiness can be released and offset when combing other ingredients. However if the chicken is under seasoned, the chicken will become tasteless, especially when we are using frozen ones instead of fresh ones.
