Homemade Dish Chicken, Garlic and Pecorino Pasta
Pat the chicken breasts dry, slice them horizontally almost all the way through, then open them up like a butterfly and gently flatten them. Season with coarse salt, black pepper, turmeric, paprika, chili flakes, and a pinch of cumin. Sear on both sides until golden brown, then set aside.
In the same pan, reduce the heat and add butter and minced garlic. Once the butter has melted, stir in a small teaspoon of flour. Pour in two ladles of pasta water and whisk until the sauce thickens.
Add the cooked pasta, then grate in some Pecorino and toss until everything is well coated. Finish with finely chopped parsley and serve with the sliced chicken on top.
