Method

For the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle grated pecorino Romano cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.

For the Lemon Herb Beurre Blanc

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce Base

    In a small saucepan, combine finely chopped shallots and white wine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced by half.

  2. 4

    Finish the Sauce

    Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the cold cubed butter until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Stir in lemon juice and chopped thyme. Keep warm.

For the Balsamic Marinated Tomatoes

  1. 5

    Marinate the Tomatoes

    In a bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

For the Garlic Parmesan Noodles

  1. 6

    Cook the Noodles

    Cook the spaghetti or fettuccine noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Garlic

    In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 8

    Combine with Noodles

    Add the cooked noodles back to the pot, along with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Toss to combine and heat through.

For the Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 9

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced zucchini and bell peppers. Season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

To Serve

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a serving of garlic Parmesan noodles, top with a chicken breast, spoon over the lemon herb beurre blanc, and garnish with balsamic marinated tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Serve with sautéed seasonal vegetables on the side.
