Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups olive oil, plus more for the grill pan
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 big handful fresh basil leaves, plus more for garnish
1 small handful fresh mint leaves
1 small handful fresh parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Fettuccine Alfredo, recipe follows
1 pound fettuccine noodles
1 cup heavy cream
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil, Parmesan, pine nuts, oregano, garlic, basil, mint, parsley and some salt and pepper in a blender and puree. Put the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade and seal. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to several hours, the longer the better.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Remove the breasts from the marinade and grill until cooked through with nice char marks, about 4 minutes a side. Slice the chicken and serve over Fettuccine Alfredo. Garnish with more basil.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan or skillet over low heat, add the cream and butter and cook until the butter melts and the mixture is warm. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put half of the Parmesan into a large serving bowl. Pour the warm butter/cream mixture over the top.
  • Drain the pasta (reserving a little of the cooking water) and immediately pour it into the bowl. Toss a couple of times, then sprinkle in the other half of the Parmesan. Toss to combine, thinning with the reserved pasta water if necessary.
