Directions

  1. 1

    Slice onion into thin bits, mince garlic, and measure out all your seasonings/combine. Bring a cup of cream or coconut milk to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add in the onions and let them brown for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. If they start sticking, add a splash of water.

  3. 3

    While your onions are caramelizing, boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and save 1 cup of that pasta water.

  4. 4

    When the onions are deeply golden, stir in your minced garlic and all the seasonings. Let it all bloom for a minute, then add the chili crisp and saute for a minute. Pour in your cream (or coconut milk). Let it simmer for a few minutes then add the grated Parmesan cheese.

  5. 5

    Cook 2 chicken breasts, slice and add to the mixture

  6. 6

    As needed, Add your pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Use that reserved pasta water to loosen things up if it's too thick

  7. 7

    Serve hot with an extra spoon of chili crisp on top for a spicy kick and maybe a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
