cup
extra virgin olive oil
1 ¼
pounds
boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½
teaspoon
freshly ground black pepper
3
ounces
prosciutto
4
large cloves
garlic
minced
2
cups
heavy cream
I used unsweetened cashew milk
½
cup
grated Parmesan cheese
½
cup
chopped fresh basil
12
ounces
angel hair pasta
cooked
2
Roma tomatoes

Instructions
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound until even thickness. Sprinkle with pepper and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken and saute for 10 to 15 minutes on each side until no longer pink inside. Remove from skillet and place on a plate.
Add prosciutto and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cream, Parmesan, and basil. Stir until cheese is melted.
Slice the chicken into thin strips and place back in the skillet.
Stir to combine and reduce heat to low. Simmer until chicken is heated through.
Serve chicken over angel hair pasta, spooning additional sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped tomatoes, basil, and grated Parmesan.
Notes
For creamy sauce, use heavy cream.
For lactose-free, use unsweetened cashew milk or canned coconut milk.
Any pasta will work, I was just in the mood for angel hair.
If you can’t find prosciutto, substitute 3 to 4 slices of thick-cut bacon.
