Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup fresh basil leaves
2 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 ½ tablespoons chopped walnuts
2 ½ tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. If possible, use organic and/or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make the sauce creamy and flavorful: Use a combination of heavy cream, milk, and grated cheese to make a rich and creamy sauce. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: Pasta is best served fresh out of the pot. If you need to make the pasta ahead of time, reheat it gently before serving.
