Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.

  2. 2

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot, bring salted water to boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

  3. 3

    Cook the Pancetta and Onion

    In the same skillet used for chicken, add pancetta and cook until crispy. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add frozen peas to the skillet and stir for 2 minutes. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet along with reserved pasta water as needed for consistency.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Slice the resting chicken breasts and place them on top of the spaghetti. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve warm.
