This dish is perfect for a quick dinner or a special occasion, as it is easy to prepare and always tastes great. In this article, we will provide you with some valuable tips on how to make the perfect angel hair pasta with herbed chicken recipe.

Tip #1: Marinate the Chicken

One of the key elements of this recipe is the herbed chicken. To make your chicken more flavourful and tender, you should always marinate it before cooking. A simple marinade of garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs like thyme and rosemary will really enhance the flavour of your chicken.
Recipe for Chicken Marinade:
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup of olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl or a large resealable bag, and then add your chicken. Make sure to coat the chicken well with the marinade, and then let it sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour, or up to 24 hours if you have the time. When you're ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess liquid.

Tip #2: Cook the Chicken Perfectly

Cooking the chicken to perfection is essential for making a great angel hair pasta with herbed chicken dish. Overcooking the chicken can make it tough and dry, while undercooking can make it unsafe to eat. The best way to cook chicken for this recipe is to sear it in a hot pan until it is golden brown on both sides, and then transfer it to a preheated oven to finish cooking.
Follow these steps to cook your chicken perfectly:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess liquid.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
  4. Add the chicken to the skillet and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin pieces.

Tip #3: Cook the Angel Hair Pasta Perfectly

Cooking the angel hair pasta can be a bit tricky, as it is a delicate pasta that can easily overcook and become mushy. To ensure that your pasta has the right texture and flavour, it is important to follow a few key steps.
Here's how to cook your angel hair pasta perfectly:
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Add a generous pinch of salt to the pot.
  3. Add the angel hair pasta to the pot, and stir it gently to prevent the strands from sticking together.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook the pasta for about 3-4 minutes, or until it is al dente.
  5. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Tip #4: Make a Delicious Sauce

While the herbed chicken and angel hair pasta are the stars of the dish, a delicious sauce can take it to the next level. A simple sauce made from garlic, butter, lemon juice, and white wine is the perfect accompaniment to this dish.
Here's how to make a delicious sauce:
  1. In the same skillet you used to cook the chicken, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  2. Add 3 cloves of garlic, minced, and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of white wine and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the skillet, and bring it to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
  5. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Tip #5: Serve with Fresh Herbs and Parmesan Cheese

To really elevate the flavour of this dish, it is important to serve it with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Chopped parsley, basil, or cilantro can add a pop of colour and freshness to the dish, while Parmesan cheese can add a salty, savoury note.
Here's how to serve your angel hair pasta with herbed chicken:
  1. Transfer the cooked angel hair pasta to a large platter or individual plates.
  2. Arrange the sliced herbed chicken over the pasta.
  3. Pour the white wine sauce over the chicken and pasta.
  4. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and shaved Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion

Angel hair pasta with herbed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your dish turns out perfectly every time. Remember to marinate your chicken, cook it perfectly, cook your pasta al dente, make a delicious sauce, and serve with fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
