Having a hedonist moment? Want to live for the flavor, for the creamy sauce, for the butter-y eminence? Lean into your urges here, and indulge in this epicurean pasta-and-chicken meal. Falstaff would devour this meal that's all pleasure without an inch of guilt. (Unless you put that on yourself; we're not judging.) Crispy ciabatta croutons maximize the carbs, while garlic and lemon both cut and bring out the natural richness of the cream and butter. Live for the now, live for this meal. Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut ciabatta into 1" dice.

    Mince garlic.

    Zest and halve lemon. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook Pasta and Toast Ciabatta

    Once water in large pot is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.

    Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander. Set aside.

    While pasta cooks, place ciabatta pieces on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil.

    Spread into a single layer and bake in hot oven until toasted, 8-10 minutes.

    While ciabatta toasts, cook chicken.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken to hot pan and cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side.

    Transfer chicken to a plate.

    Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Return pan used to cook chicken to medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add garlic to hot pan and stir constantly until aromatic, 30-60 seconds.

    Add cream, butter, and half the pasta cooking water. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in pasta, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper until heated through.

    Remove from burner. If too dry, add remaining pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Slice chicken into thin slices, and stir into pasta with Parmesan (reserve a pinch for garnish), 1 tsp. lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Stir ciabatta pieces into pasta.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing with 1 tsp. lemon zest and reserved Parmesan. Squeeze lemon wedges over pasta (to taste). Bon appétit!
