Ingredients

  • 120 g chicken breast

  • 1 egg

  • 60 ml milk

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 80 g pasta

  • 1/4 tsp pepper

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 tomato

Tools you'll need

non-stick skillet cutting board knife wooden spoon small bowl fork

Chef's tip: Stir the egg immediately after pouring to prevent scrambling; the residual heat gently thickens the sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut chicken breast into 2 cm cubes. Dice tomato into 1 cm pieces.

    ~4 min
  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 74°C/165°F).

    ~5 min
  3. 3

    Add pasta, diced tomato, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Pour in milk and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 8 minutes, stirring once halfway, until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.

    ~8 min
  4. 4

    While step 3 cooks

    While pasta cooks, crack egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork.

    ~1 min
  5. 5

    Remove skillet from heat. Pour beaten egg over the pasta mixture and stir quickly for 30 seconds until egg coats the pasta and sets into a creamy sauce. The egg is fully cooked when it reaches 71°C/160°F and is no longer runny.

    ~1 min
  6. 6

    Let rest for 1 minute, then serve.
